Story
Mission Statement
The plot may be out of this world, but the heart of our story is about mental illness & how to recognize the patterns of toxicity in our lives as told through the eyes of a strong, compelling female lead.About The Project
A troubled young woman meets her father for the first time only to be interrupted when a man in the park opens his mouth four feet wide and swallow a 10-year-old whole. This sends them on a wild ride full of interdimensional entities, scary little girls, and crippling insecurities about the future.
It’s got comedy, sci-fi, horror, adventure, and a whole lot of heart.
THE WHOLE MOVIE HAS BEEN SHOT & EDITED
These additional funds are for digital effects, soundtrack, sound design/editing, color grading, & film festival submissions.

“Chompy & the girls” was put together by a variety of seasoned industry veterans and alumni straight out of film school. The one thing we had in common was we all cared about the project. It’s a good, fun movie with a lot of heart.
The film was shot over 19 crazy days full of huge prosthetic mouths, overnight sets, and lots of (in character) screaming. By the end of it, everyone was exhausted - but we had a movie. And a pretty good movie at that.
Now, we’re trying to get it finished. We’ve shot the film, we’ve edited it - but it’s not done yet. With your help, we can complete the visual effects, sound, and music. Once that’s done, we’re going to film festivals, find a distributor, and ultimately make more movies!-Skye Braband
