Hi! My name is Elaine, and I'm the producer of Goodbye, Hello Mr. Envy (An Experimental Short).
We're so excited that you're interested in our project!
Mr. Envy explores the story of a picture framer Spencer and his childhood best friend Ayla, whose lives are turned upside down when Spencer's father and uncle from a different timeline fall into this world as their 10-year-old selves. This is a multilingual film about family, intergenerational trauma, forgiveness, and the envy we hold for the lives we don't have.
To make this happen, we need money to support our hardworking crew and talent, bring our narrative world to life through production design and location scouting, finance camera equipment, and cover any emergencies!
Let's introduce you to some of our dedicated crew!
Here's what this film means to us:
In the current mediascape, it's more important than ever to create non-commercial, independent, human-made art. We want to film stories that resonate across audiences and generations and give voice to underrepresented people in mainstream media.
Please help us create this full-of-heart, emotionally rich story and join us in supporting independent films!
This project is affiliated with CAP Studios @ UC Berkeley.
