Weathered


From my good friend, the very talented Matty B:

Hi.

What does a television editor do when faced with months of no work whilst the writers go on strike (besides trying to use the word "whilst")? Make his own movie! My friend, Matt Webb, and I wrote a story about a woman who lost her fiancé 20 years ago and is now a recluse in her own apartment. She longs for human connection and fills her loneliness through doctors' appointments.

With time on our hands and fire in our bellies, we have decided it's time to make this short film. We will begin shooting at the end of April and in order to pay the crew, rent camera and lights, obtain the location permits, buy insurance, and more, we need to raise $25,000. So far we have raised $9,000, much of which has come out of our own pockets.

Would you consider helping us reach our goal? In return, we have various gifts that you can receive depending on the amount you give (taking our cue from public radio!) Any size donation will help. And if you aren't able to help us financially, but have other resources that you'd like to offer, feel free to email us. You can find links below that will take you to our website and donation page.

Thank you in advance for considering lending your support.

Cheers,
Matt
