We are Understudied Productions.

We are a small team of nine core members (and growing every day), all university students, who spent their time making a film instead of studying.

We believe in chasing dreams and following what we truly want from our lives, rather than giving in and doing what is easy and comfortable.

Over the course of this year (2025) we have produced, prepared, and shot around 70% of a 2 hour and 20 minute film and bled our collective coffers dry doing so.

We have lost countless hours of sleep, spent days shooting sometimes through the entire night, climbed mountains, and traveled many miles to make what we've have and it is still not done.

This is why we have decided as a team to crowdsource the remaining funding for the project.

This is our ticket to a better future.

This is the support we need to finish what we've set out to do.

And if we succeed, this is only the start of what we will do.
