"Checkered Minds" Short Film

A chess match between a disparaging high schooler and his timid friend spirals into a sequence of harrowing introspection.

Hi Everybody! We’re excited to announce the launch of our first psychological thriller short film - Checkered Minds. We’ve assembled a talented cast and crew to turn our vision into reality, with a goal of film completion by the end of the Fall 2023 semester.

This project has been a long time coming, and over the last month, we’ve worked diligently on planning, pre-production, and revising our script. This contribution page is a significant component of that work. Our pre-production work indicates we need additional financial support to implement our vision.

Any financial contributions to help us accomplish our passion project would be greatly appreciated! And, of course, all generous contributors will be recognized in the film’s credits.

We’re excited to get to work. Thank you for your support!
