The Story
EMPLOYED
With Employed, we want to tell a story that relates to so many young adults struggling between paying bills and chasing their dreams. The story conveys the constant, drastic changes that can happen in day-to-day life when you are young and living on your own. We hope to get this accepted into our first ever film festival next year.
Logline: An aspiring filmmaker and her boy best friend chase their dreams in the big city, only to end up at a coffee shop.
Synopsis: Hailey, an aspiring filmmaker stuck in a barista job, is quietly unraveling. Beneath her calm surface, Hailey navigates panic attacks and intrusive thoughts of Emily Gorge, a wildly successful movie star who embodies everything Hailey feels she isn’t. After a fight with her best friend Nick leaves her feeling more adrift than ever, Hailey reaches a breaking point. But an unexpected breakfast with her aging grandparents sparks a quiet revelation: life is too short to wait for things to fall into place. If she wants change, she’ll have to make it herself.

What are we using the money for?
We will be using the money to fund meals and housing for the crew as well as pay for transportation, location, and permits. Everyone on the cast and crew is donating their time and we are so thankful for that. Even with such a great donation, we still estimate a budget of $4000 to make the film and we want to crowdfund about half of that while we work to raise/save the remaining budget ourselves. The other half being funded internally is to show our supporters that we will have our own skin in the game and that we truly care about this project. We have built up the knowledge and skills with the equipment to support it and now is our time to let it all shine!
Estimated Budget:
- Food - $1200 - 4 days, 15 people, 2 meals per day + Crafty.
- Housing - $1250 - Housing for the people coming from Phoenix to Prescott.
- Labor - $500 - Hiring Grandparents if we are not able to find anyone for free.
- Transportation - $300 - Gas compensation for the cars coming up from Phoenix.
- Production Design - $500 - A budget for any props or location items we need to purchase to set dress.
- Location Permit - $250 - Paying for a permit with the city of Prescott for using the public locations.
643 Productions:
643 Productions started out as my own personal LLC when I saw so many in the film industry struggling to get jobs and pursue their passion. After working in a separate industry to save some money, I saw an opportunity to purchase some gear and set myself up to actually make the projects we want rather than sitting around for someone to choose us to work on their film ideas. The group has grown and grown and the amount of talent in all of these filmmakers is amazing. Please visit our website at 643productions.com in order to learn more about us and follow our instagram at @643.productions . We want to grow this industry here in Phoenix and hope to start creating more jobs for the creative industry as a whole!
