WHAT WE SEE - Web Series
We are so excited to finally announce our official title for this web series,
As with so many Independent Arts productions, COVID-19 meant that we were not able to run our 'public' fundraising activities for our web-series production.
Yearbook, successfully wrapped two weeks of filming in July. The footage looks amazing, thanks to our wonderful Cast and Crew! We're now in the Distribution and Screening stages and seeking support to share What We See.
Please support young emerging actors and help them get their production seen.
What We See, the web series is a creative collaboration by a group of Perth actors. We were fortunate to work with award-winning director, James Bogle. An exceptional crew made up of WA industry professionals, lead by production manager, Vikki Barr.
We were also ecstatic to be working alongside experienced actors Cara McCarthy (The Heights), Daniielle Alexis (Wentworth) and Soa Palelei (1% / Outlaws).
Our public fundraising events have been cancelled due to COVID-19 . We are asking for your help to complete our production. Your donations will be specifically going towards the cost of crew, post-production and festival entries.
STORY
What We See is a teen dramedy web series that explores the high school experience of two sisters, Sam and Ella. The series follows Sam, a senior in her final year, and her younger sister, Ella, a freshman. This year will be full of surprises as they navigate the highs and lows of school life at Hollywood Hills High while keeping their Gift , a secret.
WHERE WE ARE AT
What We See is now in its Distribution and Screening stage.
Through our GoFundMe campaign, we aim to raise funds for;
1) Hold a Screening event to showcase the production.
2) Film festival entry fees. The distribution of a film is a vital stage of the story-telling process but it is very costly. Film festival charges: i.e. Festival entries, festival categories e.g. Best Actor, Best Director.
Involvement in film festivals will allow the work of our cast and crew to be showcased on a national and international scale, and viewed by countless industry professionals.
