Mia Aston's NYU Thesis Film Fundraiser: 'In the Crow's Nest'

Donation protected
For my final film at NYU, I am directing a thriller/drama short film set at a wilderness therapy camp:

Dropped off at a wilderness camp for troubled youth, a young girl must navigate a system of abuse and betrayal.

Growing up as a military dependent was difficult. While I was never sent to a therapy camp, I wanted to have a voice in where I lived or stayed, so to some extent, I understand the desperation of the young girls in this film. This is a story for everyone who doesn't feel, or at some point, has not felt in control of their life.

FUNDRAISING & TIMELINE:

I am raising $8,000 to help make the best film possible! The goal is high, but funding will help cover:
  • FILMING LOCATION (our campsite!)
  • LODGING
  • TRANSPORTATION
  • WARDROPE & PROPS
  • FOOD
  • VFX ANIMATIONS
  • FESTIVAL SUBMISSIONS


The above is a timeline of when pre-production for the film began and when it will be finished and ready to submit to film festivals.

*In accordance with GoFundMe's Terms of Service, I have been notified that no raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.

SEE YOU AT CAMP:


It's the middle of February at an isolated camp in New Jersey. Upon arriving at Camp Thornbury, 17-year-old Lennon is struck with the icy reality of her foreseeable future.


Lennon bonds with her cabin mates, Troy, Ashlyn, and Emma, as they complete chores and follow orders.


Yet, Lennon realizes that in order to survive Mr. Grimwood and the harsh February winter, no one here really keeps friends.

Our budget is large, but no donation is too small ₊˚⊹♡ THANK YOU to those of you who have supported me and continue to support my art. This is made possible because of you!
