Hello there! We are Zak and Jacob, and we are independent filmmakers with a passion for telling stories that reflect the world around us. We’re excited to share our latest project, “LIFT,” a short film set in a near distant future where a powerful drug allows people to relive their most cherished memories. The inspiration for this film came from witnessing the rise in depression rates and the way so many of us yearn for the comfort of the past, especially during challenging times. Through “LIFT,” we hope to explore the impact of nostalgia and the importance of finding hope in the present.
Bringing this vision to life requires resources for equipment, securing unique locations, assembling a talented cast, and handling post-production work. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making “LIFT” the best it can be, ensuring that the story is told with the care and quality it deserves. As up-and-coming artists, we’re grateful for any support that helps us share this message with a wider audience.
By donating to this project, you’re not just supporting a film—you’re helping spread a powerful message: that while it’s natural to look back, it’s even more important to keep moving forward and create new memories. Thank you for considering a contribution and for believing in the power of storytelling to inspire change.
