Help Fund My First Short Film!

Hi friends and fellow film lovers —

After a year of writing, dreaming, doubting, rewriting, — I’m finally shooting my first ever short film.

We’ll be shooting in New York City this April - as in the end of this month. We're just a few short weeks away from filming and I'm so grateful to have an amazing team around me. This story is incredibly close to my heart. It’s a romance, based on a true story.

With the help of my incredible co-writer, director, and actor Nick Kearney, we’ve been able to bring this story to life - trading perspectives and chasing the truth that lives somewhere between two sides of the same moment.

It’s also a love letter to NYC, to the thrill of young love, and to the romance movies that shaped me growing up.

I’ve been told (more than once) that “love stories don’t sell.” That they’re not bold enough, or edgy enough. That they’re just for girls. But I think that's bullsh*t— so I’m doing it anyway.

This film is being made with a scrappy, passionate team on a tiny (but mighty!) budget. Your support will go directly to:

Even $5 or $10 makes a real difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this post is just as meaningful. Thank you for being part of this with me — it truly means the world.

With Love,

Natalie Slaiman & Nick Kearney
