Help Bring Soulport Terminal to Life: A Student Sci-Fi Film
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Shad, a graduating film student in Berlin, and I’m currently in production for my final project:
Soulport Terminal: a poetic, sci-fi-inspired short film about the moment between lives.
What is Soulport Terminal?
Soulport Terminal is set in a surreal waiting room where souls gather before entering their next incarnation. It’s a space filled with celestial screens, mysterious characters, and ancient memories waiting to be awakened.
The film explores deep questions:
Who are we when we forget who we are?
What happens before life begins or after it ends?
Can remembering bring peace?
Through stunning visuals, dream logic, and emotional performances, Soulport Terminal is a meditation on transformation, belonging, and inner alignment.
Why We Need Your Support
As a student-led production, we are passionate but working with extremely limited resources. We’ve already secured most of our cast, crew, and creative direction. But to bring this film to life the way it deserves, we need help covering the following:
Camera & lighting equipment (rentals from Delight Rental Services)
Set dressing & costumes
Original score by a Berlin-based sound designer
️ Production design to transform a space into our 'soulport terminal'
Food and transport for our volunteer crew
️ Post-production (color grading, sound design, festival submissions)
This is more than a school project: Soulport Terminal is a heartfelt, creative world I've been dreaming of for months. With your help, we’ll make it real.
