<div>Hello! We are Allie Young and Clara Gallagher, childhood friends from upstate New York, and we’re making a female-led music video for Allie’s song Back and Forth, shooting over 2 days in Belgrade, Serbia in early June 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ever since we were kids in Dryden Central Schools, Allie wanted to be a musician and Clara wanted to direct, and now it’s happening!

</div>
<div><strong>ABOUT THE VIDEO</strong>
</div>
<div>The music video will contain three parts interwoven to create a meta exploration of identity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Part 1</em> - Allie performs an incredibly polished routine in a studio with backup dancers, both on a white background (pictured below) and in the void of a black box studio.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Studio:

<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Part 2</em> - Mili, the Serbian villager, impersonates Allie and her dance from the studio on the streets of Belgrade

<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Part 3</em> - Mili’s backstory, illuminating what prompted her to impersonate Allie after seeing the video from the studio
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80085821_1715602975330657_r." width="100%" /><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80085821_171560302076754_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The music video will act as both a standalone music video for Allie and a proof of concept for a film fund Clara is applying for with our producer, Sara Zeljković.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Why Serbia</em>
</div>
<div>Clara has been living in Belgrade for the past two years and is part of the tight-knit filmmaking community here. Using our local connections, we have been able to assemble an incredible world-class crew and make deals for equipment, etc., but we still need you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP</strong>
</div>
<div>There’s a whole team of passionate professionals (mostly women!) working on this because they believe in the project, but there are still costs that come with shooting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We need to raise $5,000</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will cover the following for two days of shooting:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Technical equipment (lights, camera, dolly, tripod, etc.)
</li>
<li>Location fees for studio, city, and village
</li>
<li>Transportation costs
</li>
<li>Bespoke costumes, hair and makeup supplies, and prop rentals
</li>
<li>Food on set!
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
