We are a team of young indie professionals who fell in love with a story and want to tell it the way it deserves to be told. We had a high-production short film with no funding, but we were determined to bring it to life nevertheless. So we pulled up our sleeves and started doing whatever we could, and little by little more and more people came to share our vision and joined the project. From the make-up artist to our director of photography, everyone worked countless hours for free. After months of pre-production and several setbacks we were able to set shooting dates and get the shots we need. In order to finish the short film, all that's left to do is post-production. However, we now find ourselves with no more resources to continue. What little money we had (which came from our own pockets) was spent on camera and equipment rentals and transportation, meals for the crew, etc.

My name is Joe Gonzalez. I studied filmmaking, but working independently, on my own projects, has been impossible due to financial reasons. I came up with this particular script a few years ago, and since then I've been working on polishing every detail so as to deliver an interesting story and a professional-looking short film. Meanwhile, I worked at a few post-production companies, which resulted in a blessing since I finally got the connections that allowed me to finish putting together a great team of young professionals who share my vision and want to make my script a reality. Thanks to them, we are down to the very last stage of the project.

The final goal is to enter film festivals and show the world our way of telling compelling stories. We intend to showcase the talents and passion of all the dedicated, young professionals involved in the project.
