SAFE TRAVELS- Support Elliot's Film
Donation protected
Safe Travels is a darkly comedic short that explores a couple's journey back home from a difficult therapy session. When things begin to take a turn for the worse (both literally and figuratively), they must reconcile their differences in order to save their relationship. The film looks at modern relationship dysfunction, ego, and miscommunication through a sharply stylized and satirical lens.
From the director:
Safe Travels is a short film based in my own anxiety. I think about the worst possible situation and then I ruminate on it until I drive myself insane.
It's a story about the real struggles of being in a relationship, and how vulnerability and communication are essential in maintaining stability.
It's a story, at its core, about no matter how much you want control over your life, you can't avoid fate.
So, Sharks, I'm seeking $6,000 to help me fund this. This money is going to go toward:
- Paying everyone on the crew/cast
- Location permits/rentals
- Post-production editing, coloring, and sound mixing
- Equipment rentals
- Insurance
- Food
You may be wondering, 'Elliot, we're literally in a recession, the world is insane - why should we help you?'
Well, it's because this is really important to me.
I want to be able to use this as a calling card - for people to see my writing, my directing, and my acting at a professional level.
Simply put, I need a way to show people what I can do.
So, thank you, seriously, thank you for anything you can donate, I can't wait to share this with all of you.
It's going to be awesome. Check out the images below to taste of what we're going to create.
