THEMES IN THE FILM

CAUSES WE AND THE FILM SUPPORT

Director's Statement

This is the perfect time for women to use art to amplify their voices and demand to be seen and heard. We wanted to tell a story about women and not have it be about men, or anything sexy or anything that has been done repeatedly before. We wanted to create a film --a serious film-- that reminded us why we are artisis in the first place. To tell and express art! Also, to elevate the representation of real women not the 2-dimensional characters we see in movies that are barely there to service a story. With this story, each woman has to overcome an obstacle or a challenge in order to get to the root of their problem or to the truth of themselves. They are revealing what is usually silenced.

 

This film is strongly about sisterhood and the strength and beauty that occurs when women work together and support one another. This film is also dealing with a lot of Mental Health issues. And with May being Mental Health Awareness month, it's extremely timely that we make this film because the stigma against mental health is starting to crumble. And the voices of women need to be amplified moreso now than ever before. 

 

Why Should You Help Us?

We are so proud of the work we’ve done thus far with pre-production and what our insanely talented team will accomplish. 

 

We assembled a truly talented, charismatic, passionate and hard working team. A diverse group of  women who love what they do and care about how they do it.  

 

We want to do it right, and honor the talents of the those who have poured themselves into this by delivering a high-quality finished product that will light up the screen at film festivals. We truly cannot do this without your help!

 

This is an exciting step in our journey forward, and we would be honored to have you join in helping us shape our futures at this crucial time.

 

Much Love,

 

-Echoes in Silence Team!
