!!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!! Here is our official Video and Link to our Kickstarter, please donate/share as we are excited to share our film with you all but we want to make sure it is in it's best form possible, and that's where you come in. With any amount of a donation you would be helping us take care of post-production expenses and paying our fellow creators for their hard work! We’re now asking for help from anyone who is willing and able. Our goal is $5000 to go towards the remaining production costs and festival circuit come release. For your donation, we have a variety of perks ranging from a Thank You post on Instagram all to way to an Executive Producer credit. @kickstarter has picked our film as a "KICKSTARTER PROJECT THAT WE LOVE" and we sure hope that you love it as well! Any donation is appreciated, as is support in any shape or form. Can't contribute financially? You can still be a vital part of our journey: Follow: Join us on Instagram @wearefilm. Promote: Spread the word via social media. Engage: Share the film with friends and family. Attend: Keep an eye out for festival screenings and experience the magic in person! Your support, in any form, is instrumental in bringing this powerful narrative to life. Personal Message: I wrote this film to bring about healing and discussions/questions around healing. Whether you identify as queer or not, I believe the story of these two young men will speak to you. I really believe in this and I'm sure that it will affect the masses in a beautiful and real way. I also, being a queer man, wanted to tell a story that did not depend on the stereotypical traumas of queer men to be the nucleus of the story. I wanted to dive more in on what is the textual and behavioral analysis of these two. I wanted to focus on the unsaid and said. The psychological gestures between these two and how these are things we see in our everyday lives. We see these two as two humans who are having a hard time in their relationship. I have tested it on a few groups of audience members and they have walked away from the film feeling seen and heard and seeing/hearing someone else. It has fostered healing and discussion and has made people go within and ask questions and begin a quest for deeper understanding. I am sure that with the post-production costs we are raising the funds for, we can bring this film into its best form possible to distribute to the masses and I would love it if you were a part of that. And remember, even if you can't donate any money at this time, your time in sharing/reposting this will help in such GRAND ways! I thank you so much for reading this email and I hope you can join us next year when the film comes out! #whatarewefilm #queertiktok #ally #weare #whatarewefilm #indiefilmmakers #indiefilm #kickstartercampaign #queerindie #film #shortfilms #gorillafilmmaking #lgbt #interacialcouple #lgbtqia #fyp 

Would you like to say you helped a feature film come to life?? If so, my film's Kickstarter, "Bad for Me," is a great opportunity for you!!! Let's talk about it: Your donation would help an important story come to light. More than a basic kitchen sink drama, "Bad for Me" exposes the guts beneath the glamor of the American dream. As a feminist memoir and observation of mid-century life, the film engages viewers with the harsh reality of how love can be manipulated into a destructive force. To be frank, I believe this film contains a life saving narrative. Furthermore, your donation would allow us to create opportunities for creatives of all ages (especially students) around Wisconsin and the Midwest! Hands on experience is what allows folks in this industry to book jobs and be the best in their fields! This is an opportunity that doesn't frequently come around in Wisconsin. Lastly, if you're not feeling sold, check out the rewards we are offering on our Kickstarter page. You could come visit us on set, be in the credits, get an awesome t-shirt, and much more! If this sounds remotely interesting to you, check out the link. There is information aplenty and we would be happy to answer any of your questions. Feel free to share this with anyone. We appreciate your consideration!!! https://lnkd.in/g8jpxQJW

Storytellers: Creating original content is an adventure in itself. But funding those projects can be quite the feat. Being an independent content creator or filmmaker you are never short of ideas, except when it comes to finding resources. Being a minority women in film, there are a variety of grants, but also a battle amongst the masses. As the industry changes, you have to become more creative and adapt. What are some of your favorite outlets to utilize while raising funding for your projects? Investors, out of pocket, sponsors, donations,etc. #freeresources #qotd #film #filmmaking #strategy #creative #womeninfilm #womeninmedia #chicago #tv #storyteller #media #streaming

Have you watched Telemarketers on HBO Max? I loved it! Why did they get away with it for so long? Because they were adhering to the basics of fundraising! They just also happened to be crazy scammers. Read my latest post where I break down what CDG did RIGHT. And how fundraising is like chemistry... #youngfundraisers #development #fundraising #streaming #HBO #MAX #governmentoversight #nonprofitblogging https://lnkd.in/eS5DbV-J

Fundraising for short films can be a daunting experience. However, I have found creative ways to promote films and reach the target budget in only a few weeks. How am I doing it for the current short film I am producing?

Philip&Hugo: 20 Years of Fame & Fuck-Ups // #12 One day can make a difference // Creativity can be a force for good. So when Hanna Verboom asked us to create a campaign for her do-good crowdfunding platform Get it done, we said ‘let’s do it’. Get It Done was about empowerment of local communities. The campaign should be too. The idea was simple. Let’s single-out a project from the platform and try to raise the funds needed in a single day. And so ‘Get It Done In A Day’ was born. We found our project: a group of talented youngsters wanted to set up an arts school - music, dance, theatre, painting - in Blikkiesdorp, a town ship near Cape Town. Together with these kids we’ve made bespoke thank-you videos for every donation to the arts school, all in one day. It was another impossible shoot. 50 mad cat kids from Blikkiesdorp. A small young Dutch crew (many thanks to Czar!). And 174 videos all shot and delivered to peoples socials in one day under the blazing South-African sun. Best of all, the funds were raised and the school became a reality. How one day can make a difference. You need time to come up with creative ideas. But to bring ideas to life, it helps to put them in a pressure cooker. www.philipenhugo.nl #Fame #Fuckups #GetItDone CZAR - Amsterdam Hugo van Woerden
