Hi! My name is Blake Bushman, and I’m a student in UVU’s film program. I’m currently directing my biggest project yet: a medieval fantasy short film called The Fractured Crown.

Logline

When a hardened ranger is pulled back into the world he’s tried to avoid, he must hunt down a deadly tracker and a stolen royal message—only to discover that the greatest threat to his kingdom may be the king he serves.

As a student filmmaker, I’m working with a small but dedicated team of actors and crew who are all donating their time and talent because they believe in this story. What I don’t have is the budget to create the props and production design that bring a medieval world to life.

Your support will go toward:

• Prop weapons (safe for actors)

• Medieval-style costumes

• Set dressing for camps, ruins, and outposts

• Makeup + weathering to make characters look authentic

• Food and transportation for volunteer cast and crew

Every donation—large or small—directly helps us make a better film. If you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as valuable!

I’m incredibly passionate about this project, and with your help, we can create a film that becomes something every person involved can be proud of.

Thank you so much for supporting our filmmaking and helping bring The Fractured Crown to life.
