Manasquan Monster: An Aquatic Thriller Short Film

Donation protected
I am creating a short film that showcases the beautiful nature and aquatic atmosphere New Jersey has to offer, while surfacing our natural fear of the unknown. This aquatic horror-thriller has been brewing in the depths for 3 years and with your help, it can finally breach this summer.

Inspired by the 1916 shark attacks in the Matawan River—the same events that inspired the movie JAWS—and by the incredible water people I've met while working at the local surf school, I want to bring a unique vision to life. My goal is to highlight the mystery and thrill that exists right in our own backyard, and to share the sense of awe and suspense that the water can evoke. We'll be filming entirely on the Manasquan River over the course of 7 days, and my team of production savants are ready for action.

The funds raised will help us secure the proper equipment and humans to film effectively on the water. With your support, we can capture the unique beauty and suspenseful atmosphere of New Jersey's aquatic environments, and create a film that immerses viewers in the feeling of being hunted by an ancient creature in present day surroundings. This project is not just about visuals—it's about creating an experience that resonates with anyone who loves the water or has ever felt the thrill of the unknown.

Please join me in bringing this vision to life. This is your chance to get in on the bottom floor before the Hollywood bigwigs pick all the fruit from our ripe environment. Your support will help shape how we make film in New Jersey, and together, we can create something truly special for the years to come.

If you love Indie horror, creature features, and supporting independent filmmakers, please consider contributing to our film. Any amount helps- and sharing this campaign means the world to us.

Let's go on a wild adventure.
