We are on the edge of a NEW way of thinking. After these past two years, we are starting to change how they see the world and how we see ourselves. We want more out of life. We are questioning our jobs, relationships, the world, and most importantly ourselves. This film speaks to all of the above.

I grew up dealing with the confusing trauma of adoption, severe bullying in my childhood and teen years, addiction and mental health issues, etc. I chose to get my life together around 12 years ago and began working in the mental health and addiction fields to help others and to give back. The biggest thing I learned was that EVERYONE has trauma. If we can get to the root causes and confront them in a safe space, we can all change our lives for the better. I wrote this film to , hopefilly, inspire even one person to take a break from the hustle and bustle of their life, get quiet, and look inside at who they really are and what they really want. It is scary for sure, but the reward is immeasurable. We are 80% funded and are looking for these last funds to buff up our production with better pay, vfx, locations, catering, a process trailer, covid safety costs (including testing and compliance). We want to tell this story with all the passion and energy we can. In order to do that, my crew and cast need to be in a safe & healthy space and I am striving to have the budget to do this.
Summer, unhappy with her love life, recieves a mysterious email inviting her out to a spiritual obstacle course. Summer gathers her four friends, each battling something of their own, to drive to the Sedona Desert, where they are promised this "vortex" will change their lives for the better. They embark on these courses with the help of their uncanny guide Hermes, who leads them into a series of unusual practices. Little do they know they are being monitored by mysterious hooded entities, eager to take over their bodies.
When one of the girls leaves the group after a secret of hers is revealed, the girls, high on mushroom tea, split off in efforts to find her and complete the courses. As they come across some very eccentric characters in their travels through the desert, they face their deepest and darkest fears, as they begin to disappear one by one.

* This film also stars some amazing upcoming stars such as Joe Filippone (filmed over 100 projects), Corey Brooks (from big brother) , Maya Knell (most recently on netflix) , and Ryan Jack Connell (in the upcoming movie Afternooner) and many many more...
This is a very visual and metaphoric film pulling symbols and stories from goddess mythology, shadow work, poetry and spirituality while using the Heroine's Journey story as a guide for a feminine-based story structure.
BUZZWORDS: WARMTH. FLARES. GRIT. PRESENCE. IMPROV. CHANGE. DISCOVERY. HEART. INTUITION.
We aim to make this film a work of art, immersive, raw, and real. We will play with distortion, the subject matter of other worlds, and nature itself.
We want to REFLECT life itself in our creation of this film.
I will be making a matching personal donation based on how much I am able to raise during my campaign to:
Comprehensive Resource Model®is a trauma treatment modality that is designed for optimal safety, ease and depth of permanent healing.
