The Story
AS OF AUGUST 20th WE ARE AT 102% OF OUR GOAL! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED / FOLLOWED / SHARED!
We now have a STRETCH GOAL of $15,000!!
This will cover: some epic VFX shots and an additional day in color to make this beauty pop! Festival fees so that we can bring our movie magic to a screen near you!
If we reach our STRETCH GOAL we have a DREAM STRETCH GOAL of $20,000 which will cover marketing fees and deliverables as well as licensing two originals songs that we didn't think we could have but will make all the difference!
We appreciate everyone's help so far. Let's keep it going!
We've all been there. Busy. Stuck on our phones. Preoccupied with our projections and fantasies, instead of living our real lives. We're so obsessed with finding our value externally in some "other experience" that we miss what's right in front of us.
FIRE FUCKING FIRE is a cautionary tale about what happens when you pin your hopes and dreams of love and popularity on external forces instead of being true to who you really are. The film centers on Ally, (Rachel Paulson) a Type-A, people-pleasing shy girl and homebody who thinks she's hit the jackpot when she beds her rockstar crush, Meg FUCKING Taylor from famous rock band Fire FUCKING Fire.
But in the morning the rockstar (Calico Cooper) won't leave and Ally's world descends into a RIDICULOUS and CHAOTIC INVASION of privacy NIGHTMARE.
I'm sure we can all imagine the shenannigans a famous rockstar might get up to, especially one who is trying to drown out the voices in their own head. You name it, Meg does it. And the more Ally panders to Meg's whims, the further Meg pushes her boundaries. From making cocktails for breakfast to destroying Ally's closet, Meg can't even get Ally's name right. Meanwhile Ally enlists the help of her best friend, the always upbeat and entertainingly unhelpful Jess (Capri Campeau) who encourages Ally to "enjoy it" because YOU ONLY LOVE ONCE - YOLO.
Ally tries to ignore the red flags and go with it, but Meg won't stop - she continues to push all of Ally's buttons and flout every single boundary until Ally can't take it anymore. In an epic crescendo, Ally finally finds her voice and stands up for herself, taking her power back. She takes the risk of losing the person she's been fantasizing about for so long, because the fame, the parties, the popularity, none of it matters if Ally isn't being true to who she is.
In a time where women, trans and non-binary folx are still fighting for recognition and equality, stories like this are imperative to the narrative. We must be shown, through storytelling, how to trust ourselves and our intuition, how to use our voices and step into our power, no matter the consequences.
This is a personal message that rings true for every single person who was involved in making this film - after all, isn't there a little girl, boy or non-binary person in all of us who longs to be seen and heard, not for what people want us to be but for who we truly are?
We have LOVED making this film. We know that you will have as much FUN watching it as we did making it.
