The Story
1. THE STORY
It is Los Angeles, 2047.
The clock is ticking.
In just a few weeks, the world will become uninhabitable; the air overwrought with toxins from over a century of over-pollution. The world has succumbed to widespread hedonism. People spend their last days on Earth doing drugs, partying, and hooking up before they take their last breath.
Those in power didn't listen to the environmentally-conscious - maybe because they knew that they would be immune to the result. The wealthiest 1% in the world are able to survive the end of days by escaping to a limited number of colonies built on the moon, while the lower class is left to die on Earth.
Our protagonist is Jade, a wealthy designer baby known for her frigid behavior and cruelty, except when it comes to Ava - her bitter ex-girlfriend who remains the love of her life. In order to get back together with Ava before the world ends, Jade promises her that she will stay and die with her rather than saving herself by leaving for the lunar colony. As the doomsday clock ticks and their relationship blossoms yet again, Jade is torn between making amends for the sins of her past and saving herself from the impending apocalypse.
We have already hired actors to play Ava and Jade - a real-life LGBTQ+ couple named Brittany and Lizzie!
2. WHY CONTRIBUTE?
Every great filmmaker started where we are now, and got to where they are with the help of people like you!
Four years of schooling has led up to this point, and I'm ready to make a film that has been inside of me for a very long time. Whether you're a friend, family member, former teacher or professor, or a friend of a friend of a friend - know that your contribution is extremely important to us to make this dream happen. Loyola Marymount University is great because they allow us to own the rights to our films, but only because they don't fund their student's projects. And that's where we need your help.
3. LGBTQ+ AND FEMALE REPRESENTATION
In addition to these reasons, you should contribute because we are representing a marginalized group of people that don't often have their stories told.
In some cases, if they are told, they are often sexualized and fetishized. I am a woman who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, and I know what it's like to feel like you don't have a voice.
I spent the majority of my life not seeing stories told from the perspective of someone like me - someone who is not solely attracted to the opposite biological gender. It makes you question your entire identity. Seeing LGBTQ+ people on-screen is one of the first steps our society should take to normalize being gay.
4. CREDENTIALS
My last film, Necromantic, won awards and is still winning them, including the Gold Award for Best Horror Short at the Independent Shorts Awards.
In addition to this, I started a female-led production company, ONYX Films LLC, that will be producing this film. This team is composed of amazing, talented women, with the mission statement of normalizing female leaders in the film industry. In addition to the women that will be part of the film, my crew is composed of skilled filmmakers from a variety of backgrounds and multiple schools such as LMU, USC, and UCLA. In addition to all of this, I have worked hard during my college experience by interning at seven production companies, including Blumhouse Productions, Ghost House Pictures, and Black Bear Pictures. There, I gained experience with development (what goes into a great script), production, and distribution that I will be able to apply to this project, and all of my future projects with ONYX Films LLC.
5. WHAT WE NEED
In order to produce this short, we'll need a total of $8,500.
Filmmaking is not cheap, and we've taken on the challenge of creating a futuristic world for our characters. In order to do this, we need money to pay for the pre-apocalyptic production design, wardrobe, wigs, makeup, and our club location to showcase the hedonistic lifestyles in which these characters are living out their last days. In addition to this, we need to feed our actors and crew, rent equipment, and pay our post-production team, who will be spending hours behind their computers performing VFX feats I can only imagine just to make this film a reality.
6. WHAT YOU GET
In exchange for your extremely generous contribution to this project, we have a variety of incentives for you to choose from.
These range from a social media shoutout or a virtual ticket for the lunar shuttle to the lunar colony, to a hat or hoodie that have the film's title on them, to actual gas mask props that the characters will be wearing in the film. All incentives can be found in the "incentives" column to your right!
Use the WishList to PLEDGE cash and LOAN items - OR - Make a pledge by selecting an INCENTIVE directly.
7.COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
We understand that COVID-19 is not to be taken lightly.
LMU will not let us shoot this film unless we undertake several precautions. The biggest one is that EVERYONE on set has to remain at least 6 feet away from each other at all times. Our two main characters are going to be played by a real-life couple who has been quarantining together so that they are able to touch and interact. In addition to this, LMU is requiring us to have a COVID-19 MONITOR on set at all times. These will be trained professionals who will be paid to make sure that we are social distancing, washing our hands, sanitizing equipment, and wearing masks at all times.
