Cheryl Bookout and Cheri Gaulke raised $16,660 for their short documentary, Inside the Beauty Bubble. The project follows "hairstorian" Jeff Hafler, his family, and his Joshua Tree roadside attraction featuring 3000 vintage beauty artifacts.

Co-directors Drew Brown and Keagan Anfuso successfully raised $20,705 for the post-production phase of their documentary feature, The Grey Area. The film explores the damaging consequences masculine women face for rejecting society’s expectations.

Just months before a global pandemic brought film production to a screeching halt, writer/director Susumu Kimura raised $17,130 to make his sci-fi short film Submittan. The film is set in a dystopian future, where overpopulation is strangling a city. Chase, a mother of two, helps aid the city in its struggles... at a dire cost.
