The Story
South Hills Forever is a parallel narrative neo-noir drama. A debonair couple- Monte and Skye, find themselves at a crossroads. The fabric of their relationship has worn to the point that they don’t recognize one another. Their lives are intertwined to the 10th degree, so they’re still forced to work together. At the same time, the neighborhood that made them “South Hills” is in danger of being wholly gentrified. They’re met by a shrewd commercial
developer, Percy who sees land “for sale” first, and people second. He’s not the first, just the current of a crop of characters who’ve tried to turn South Hills into a parking lot. In an effort to finally free themselves from one another, they find themselves with a refreshed perspective about who they are. They’re left with a simple choice; are they okay with doing the right thing in the wrong way?
This project explores themes of community, love, resilience, rebellion, redemption, and identity.
Monte Bridges is a man of contradictions—a smooth talker with a conscience, an outlaw with a heart, an idealist walking a tightrope between hero and menace. He’s a master at social chess, able to read a room, pivot in conversations, and sell a dream to anyone willing to buy. But beneath the charm and calculated confidence is a man haunted by his own expectations—of himself, his neighborhood, and a love he’s not sure he can salvage.
Skye Sullivan-Bridges is a force of quiet power—a woman who moves with purpose, thinks in straight lines, and refuses to let emotions cloud her judgment. She operates by facts, by numbers, by hard data, and she trusts no one’s version of reality but her own. The world is chaotic, unpredictable, and often cruel, and if she doesn’t control her environment, it will control her. Her commitment to justice runs deep, but so does her inability to let go.
Every dollar pledged, and every follower our page attracts truly helps support indie film. Thanks for stopping by our page! Your support unlocks unique opportunities for production and our campaign. You can receive an array of carefully crafted incentives as a show of our appreciation to you. We've got a mix of digital and physical goods as incentives for your pledges!
The majority of our budget will be allocated to our production crew members and securing locations. Your contributions will help fund this short by enabling us to bring together our current funds with your pledges to cover all production costs.
Financial Contribution to the Project: This is a direct way for you to become a part of the South Hills Forever family. The incentives were carefully curated to give our supporters something memorable for helping to bring this project to life.
Follow Us: Seed&Spark is simple. A project with more followers = more support from the platform itself! There's a small blue heart at the top right of this page - when you click that, it's you telling the Seed&Spark community that this is a project you believe in and should support.

Share the Link: Sharing the link to all of your folks is "internet" for word of mouth. By sharing our page, you're helping this story get in front of people it might not otherwise reach. Word of mouth is still the most powerful tool available to us, and ultimately how we'll get greenlit.
Our goal is to get South Hills Forever into the film festival circuit. We plan to submit to festivals that our previous projects have screened at, as well as some targeted niche festivals that will be new to our work. Based on previous success, we’re confident we can get our project screening across multiple festivals. South Hills Forever will see a digital release after its festival run. The ultimate goal for this proof of concept short is to produce a feature length film of the same premise, backed by investors who enjoy and believe in this project.
