<div>Hey there! I'm Anna K. Long, filmmaker, performer, friendly neighborhood dance teacher, and the writer/director of a new short film titled: Open Up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This summer, my proposal for this film was awarded first place in the first round of the Fujifilm Aspiring Filmmaker Awards in collaboration with Decentralized Pictures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So we've got a great start getting this film off the ground, but we've got a long way to go before we start principal photography on November 20th.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What's it about, you ask?
</div>
<div><strong>Open Up is part relationship drama, part body transformation thriller.</strong> It's a super short that asks what's the most monstrous behavior: hiding ourselves, or delivering difficult truths.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>What do we need funds for?
</div>
<div><strong>The short answer: to pay our cast and crew!</strong>
</div>
<div>Short films come in a million shapes and sizes in terms of budget, but our goal in raising $5000 to cover our costs is to show how we can make a lot with very little. Every dollar, every donation is crucial to providing compensation and materials to our whole team. No matter how much you can give, you're making a world of difference.
