FUNDING ASK:
As a self-funded SAG-AFTRA Micro-Budget film, we urgently need additional funding to cover expenses for our cast, crew, and locations. We own our own equipment and have post-production covered in-house, but we are shooting at over a dozen locations in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina and southeastern coastal Virginia, so expenses pile up.
Contributions will go toward expenses such as: Lodging for cast/crew, catering/meals on set, travel for location shoots, and props/wardrobe.
Since we are a trans and queer-led team working to create a truly accessible film, traditional crowdfunding presents online safety risks and challenges for our cast and crew, so we have set up fiscal sponsorship through E2AC (entertainment to affect change) as a tax-deductible option for donors.
All donors will receive credit in the film, perks, and the opportunity to be on set and/or appear as an extra in the film.
LOGLINE:
A rebellious trans punk rocker mysteriously linked to a constellation of misfits and lost souls must partner with a hardened documentary journalist to uncover humanity’s alien origins before a shadowy renegade government agent’s machinations destroy Earth.
