Fish Out of Water - Student Film

Ever felt stuck? Like you’re drowning in your own self-doubt?

Hi everyone,

We’re the production crew behind Fish Out of Water, a student-led short film diving into the worlds of surrealism, absurdism, and the perfectionism that so many of us know all too well.

Our story/synopsis:

“After a humiliating workplace breakdown, a silent, fish-headed figure appears, forcing a young woman to wrestle with the tangled mess of self-doubt, creative paralysis, and impossible standards before the deadline for an art competition slips away.”

Why we need your help.

As a student production, we’re working with big dreams and small pockets. Your support directly funds the essentials; costumes, props, equipment, set design, etc. Essentially everything we need to bring this strange and relatable vision to life.

Why it matters.

If you’ve ever battled your inner critic or struggled to create under pressure, this film is for you! Your donation doesn’t just make a movie possible, it amplifies a story that speaks to the creative struggles so many of us face, but rarely see portrayed with honesty.

Even a small contribution helps us get closer to turning this dream into reality.


Donate — help us make something weird and wonderful together.

Follow our progress!
