Help Us Bring ‘Gaslight’ to the Big Screen!
We are thrilled to share that our project, ‘Gaslight,’ was nominated for an Off-West End Award in 2024 and received multiple five-star reviews during its Off-West End and Cambridge play runs. Now, we're adapting this critically acclaimed play into a film and we need your help to make it happen.
‘Gaslight’ is a dystopian story that examines trauma through a metaphorical lens. The narrative follows university student Scarlet, who wakes up with a mysterious stab wound after a party and navigates a world that acknowledges but fails to address her injury. This powerful metaphor speaks to broader issues of societal neglect and the invisibility of trauma, making it a compelling and urgent story for our times.
Written by Shaira Berg, a South Asian actor and writer, ‘Gaslight’ seeks to amplify minority voices and bring attention to issues such as the aftermath of trauma and sexual assault. Shaira’s personal story and perspective that underpins the script enriches the narrative, ensuring it resonates deeply with audiences and brings under-heard stories to the forefront.
Our production has already received critical acclaim in its play format, with five-star reviews and an Off-West End award nomination. The evocative portrayal of sensitive themes has resonated with audiences and critics alike, highlighting the importance and impact of our story.
By funding our project, you'll enable us to continue exploring complex social issues and presenting them in thought-provoking and original ways. Your support will help us foster a deeper understanding of trauma and societal indifference through our distinctive narrative.
We believe that ‘Gaslight’ is an excellent fit for those who value innovative and diverse artistic expressions. Your contribution will play a crucial role in bringing this important real-life story to a broader audience!
Thank you for considering our project. Together, we can bring ‘Gaslight’ to life on the big screen and continue to spark meaningful conversations about trauma and societal neglect.
Your support means the world to us.
With gratitude,
The ‘Gaslight’ Team
