Support My Senior Thesis Film: "Get Well Soon!"

Hello! My name is Olli Krietzman, and I am fundraising to produce my senior thesis film Get Well Soon! GWS! is a short experimental psychological horror film which follows V, a college student who has broken their leg and slowly drifts into disturbing delusions as they cope with alienation, isolation, and loss of autonomy.

As a senior in my last semester at Oberlin College, this film will be my last work produced in my undergrad. I've been making films here for the last 3 years and studied abroad at Prague Film School; I've come a long way in my journey as a filmmaker, and I'm hoping for GWS! to be a culmination and showcase of that growth, as well as something I want to show in festivals to launch my career in film post-grad.

I've brought together a strong team of my fellow students here to help me make this production happen, including:

Sydney Swihart - Assistant Director

Tiago Furtado - Lighting Designer

Henry Sowers - Camera Operator

Eli Brandt - Sound Recordist and Composer

Sage Liem - Post-Production Sound Design

(and more!)

I'm very excited to have these people by my side to help get this film produced as best as we can and onto the big screen. This story is one very close to my heart, and I think the script is one of my strongest yet. I believe this film can be something we are all very proud of, and that will reward us professionally...

But we need help getting it made!!

Your donations will be going to buying props and costumes, renting equipment and other items, paying distribution fees for festivals, and most importantly: feeding myself and my lovely crew on set while we work hard to make it all happen!

Please consider donating to GWS! to give us means to shoot my senior thesis project. Anything helps, and it would mean a lot to me to be able to produce it as fully as I think it deserves. Thank you in advance, can't wait to watch along with you on the screening day*!
