Thank you for visiting our Kickstarter page!

We are shooting a 24 minute short film inspired by the moral simplicity and authoritative certainty of our paren- I mean, mid-century educational films.

My name is Kirk Dilley and I have brilliant, talented, and good-looking friends who are helping me make this movie.

This story is about GUS, a work-a-day office everyman, who has recently become fixated with finding his "dream girl", an ever-changing, but persistent presence in his dreams of late.

We will be shooting 1920x1080p and in color.

We already own most of the expensive equipment we need to shoot this movie. We will be using Canon DSLR cameras (7D mostly), using offline Tascam audio recorders and Rode mics, and have a set of soft boxes and LEDs for lighting.

We are are asking for your help in order to pay our SAG actors (listed below), the care and keeping of our small crew, location rentals, set design/props, traveling expenses, and catering.

We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the production, your donation, or any other universal existential dilemmas. Please contact us at:
