Help Michael Scott bring "Caregiver" to life.
Donation protected
My name is Michael Scott and I am the director of a short film called "Caregiver," which is loosely based on the experiences of my lead actor as a caregiver to his disabled wife. The plight of caregivers has never been explored in cinema, and after a few readings of the script, we have been told by an overwhelming majority that this is a story that must be told.
Here is a short explanation of what it is like to be a caregiver to a loved one:
"The plight of spouses who become caregivers to their disabled husbands or wives is often an emotionally and physically challenging journey. These dedicated individuals find themselves navigating a complex role where they must balance their responsibilities as a partner and a caregiver. Constantly providing care, managing medical needs, and dealing with the emotional toll can lead to feelings of isolation, burnout, and stress. Despite the difficulties they face, these spouses often show remarkable resilience, unwavering love, and selflessness in their commitment to supporting their disabled partners, making them unsung heroes in the realm of caregiving. The need for societal support, respite care, and understanding cannot be overstated to alleviate the burden placed on these caregivers."
We are asking for funds to cover production costs for locations and strong actors. We are planning to begin production at the end of April.
