~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hello all of you beautiful humans.

 

Two and a half years ago I wrote a script titled Something Unseen. In January 2020, with the help of so many wonderful people (you know who you are), we shot it. And now, a global pandemic, endless rough cuts, and an unspeakable amount of collaborative hours later..... we're done.

 

Something Unseen will be exported on March 16th - and ready to be submitted to film festivals.

 

For my 29th birthday, I am starting a GoFund me to see just how many film festivals we can submit it to.

 

To give you an idea of festival submissions for short films, here's a run-down:

 

$70 - $95 = A Top Tier festival such as Sundance, New York Film Festival or Toronto International Film Festival. 

$45 - $65 = Noteworthy festivals such as Richmond Internal Film Festival or Austin Film Festival.

$25 - $40 = Early Bird submission fees for most festivals.

 

$2000 is around the amount it cost to submit Greta to all the festivals we did - it ended up going to 17.

 

The more funding we have, the more festivals we can submit to! Let's see how far we can take it!

 

I love you all, and thank you for supporting me and my art. Thank you for supporting all of the humans who helped me make this.

 

XO
