Our First Feature Film!
Donation protected
In one week, we will start shooting Cecily and Lydia at the Waypoint. This is the first feature film that I've written that will be made into a movie that you could watch someday soon!
It's a big deal not only for me, the Writer and Producer. It's also huge for our Director Juliette Strangio, our Director of Photography Amy Limpinyakul, our two stars Calli Ryals and Amber Washington. It's their first feature film in these roles as well.
In fact.... it's the first feature film for everyone on set! Our crew is made up primarily of recent grads from the Harold Ramis Film School at Second City and also current film students at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
If you would please support this film, I would be so incredibly grateful. Your contributions will help underwrite the costs of cameras and sound equipment, transportation, housing, and sustenance. We start filming in a week, and would like to raise as much money as we can before we start.
Cecily and Lydia at the Waypoint is an esoteric film with humorous moments to explore what life means. It's about two women trapped on a world for a literal eternity. There are no other people on the world. One woman walks, the other keeps house. One day they meet and must decide if they are too stuck in their routines to make space for one another and become friends.
What's unique about this film is that every major creative role is occupied by a woman. We are giving women in the very male-driven entertainment industry the opportunity to shine. Not only that, we celebrate that our cast and crew come from a variety of diverse backgrounds.
This film puts all of us on the path to hopes and dreams of becoming recognized and respected filmmakers. I can't promise that your contribution will help us make a smash-hit or a beloved film or a cult classic, though all those options sound fabulous. What I can promise is that your help will give these filmmakers a leg-up on their journey, and all of us will be forever grateful.
If you contribute between $1 and $500, you will receive regular updates from the production on the film and mention in the credits.
If you contribute $501 or more, you will also receive an invitation to a private screening of the film and mention in the credits.
If you contribute $1,000 or more, you will receive the benefits listed above, but will be listed in the credits under “Special Thanks.”
If you contribute $2,500 or more, you will receive the benefits listed above, but will be listed in the credits as “Associate Producer.”
Thank you, so much, for considering this!!! Even showing your support with a dollar means the world. Not joking. Knowing that you care is a giant bolster for morale. Thank you so much!
