Hi, I’m Chelsea Harris Lee — writer, filmmaker, and founder of Red Cardinal Studios.

In 2019, after hitting a personal rock bottom, I felt called to tell stories that shine light into dark places. Not preachy stories. Not safe stories. But bold, faith-adjacent films that wrestle with control, sacrifice, morality, and redemption.

I’m now raising $50,000 to produce The Last Supper, a short film that will serve as the pilot episode for my anthology series, After Midnight.

This funding will cover pre-production, filming, post-production, and festival submissions, creating a professional proof of concept in hope to launch the full series.

Red Cardinal Studios exists to tell stories that reach beyond the church and into culture, stories that provoke thought, expose darkness and ultimately point toward hope.

If you’ve ever believed that stories matter, that film can shift culture, I would be incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank you for being part of this beginning.
