Hi, My friends and I are filming a graduate short film for our final year of uni.

Step into the backseat of fear. By the Meter is a psychological thriller short film that follows a seemingly ordinary Countryside taxi driver whose nightly routes conceal a chilling secret. As passengers come and go, the line between reality and madness blurs, revealing a story about isolation, obsession, and the darkness that hides in plain sight.

This film explores the human psyche, the masks people wear, and how danger can live in the most everyday encounters.

With your help, we’ll bring this gripping story to life through atmospheric cinematography, powerful performances, and haunting sound design.

Your contribution will go directly toward:

Location & Equipment Hire – capturing authentic country nightscapes

Cast & Crew Expenses – supporting local talent

Post-Production – editing, sound, and colour grading for a cinematic finish

Festival Submissions – sharing the film with wider audiences

Every donation—big or small—brings us closer to creating a film that keeps viewers on the edge of their seat until the very last moment.

Join us on this ride into the shadows. Because in By the Meter, no passenger is ever just a passenger.
