WHY

We need financial support to help pay for our production insurance, art department costs, location fees, transportation, equipment rentals, feeding our cast and crew and many other expenses that come along with making a high-quality short film!

AUDIENCE

Our target audience is middle-aged working professionals. People who may understand the feeling of losing a parent, and know the feeling of going through crushing grief and having to show up at work the next day.

ACCESSIBILITY

Our film will have optional subtitles in all digital release formats it may be presented in. Additionally, we'll be providing a digital copy of the film to all cast and crew, as well as a free or low-cost screening, so everyone who donated will have the opportunity to watch and rewatch the film.

During the shooting of our film, we will ensure locations are accessible and have accessible washrooms. Our top priority is for every cast and crew member to be able to participate to the fullest in a safe environment.

WAYS TO SUPPORT

If you can’t donate, that’s okay. You can still make a difference by sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. Every bit of support counts and brings us one step closer to realizing this vision.

BENEFITS

All donors and contributors will be included in the final credit sequence of Olive Green and donors with contributions $500 or more will receive an Executive Producer credit.
