Pizza Chit: Bring the Short Film to Life!

Help Bring Pizza Chit to Life!

My name is Vince and I’m directing an absurd, partially-animated short film with a crew of talented volunteer artists. It's called Pizza Chit — a story about two friends who get sucked into a pizza box and dropped into another world. They'll encounter dirty hippies, saucy sirens, and a real crusty rat as they navigate their way back to reality. The 15-page script will be shot in Ridgewood, Queens, New York. Here are some photos of our table-reading and costume fitting!

Collaborating with this community of inspiring artists is a dream come true, but like any creative project, it comes with its challenges. That's why I’m reaching out to you! To bring Pizza Chit to life and make it the best micro-budget film we can, I need your help in raising $1000.

Where Your Contribution Will Go:

Equipment: Every good pizza crust is baked perfectly right with high-quality visuals and sound.

Transportation: Nobody on our crew owns a car in NYC, so our sauce is stewed in public transportation (yum).

Set Design & Props: Creating that authentic, herbaceous Pizza World experience the whole thyme.

Food & Refreshments: Keeping the cast and crew fueled for long filming days with...pizza. But other nutritious food too, like maybe a cannoli? Or several?

Post-Production: Editing, sound design, and color correction - works just like garlic butter.

Film Festivals: To preach the cheese and cheese the day!

Why Your Support Matters

This style of filmmaking drops many of the barriers to creative collaboration and invites varying people with varying talents to get involved. Many of our crew and actors have never made a film before — but trust me, they're talented. This is the type of project I want to make, and clearly other people want to make it too!
