Mission Statement

Our mission is to create a visually striking, culturally relevant short horror film that amplifies Latina voices, showcases diverse talent, and explores the hidden fears and pressures of our digital world.

The Story

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Cantu, a Latina writer and filmmaker, and I’m thrilled to share my directorial debut, Filters.

Filters is a short horror film about two college girls having a fun night experimenting with social media filters. But what starts as harmless laughs quickly becomes a terrifying nightmare — because sometimes the filters don’t just change your face… they reveal things you’re not ready to see.


I’m making this film because Latino voices deserve to be heard, both in front of and behind the camera. I’m casting two Latina actresses for the lead roles, because representation matters. Our stories, our experiences, and our fears belong in every genre — yes, even horror.


Independent filmmaking isn’t easy, and that’s why I need your help. Your support will go directly to:

  • Hiring actors and crew who bring this story to life
  • Creating practical horror makeup and effects that make the filters terrifyingly real
  • Building immersive props and sets
  • Covering post-production and festival submissions


Even small contributions make a huge difference. And to say thank you, we’ve designed special backer rewards — from early access to behind-the-scenes content, to your name in the film credits, and even a private online screening of Filters.


Your support doesn’t just make a short horror film possible — it helps amplify Latina voices in filmmaking, gives emerging actors a platform, and allows us to tell a story that’s bold, terrifying, and unforgettable.

Join us, be part of our team, and help bring Filters to life. Because sometimes, the scariest things are hiding in plain sight… and behind the screen.
