Got You tells the story of a young girl's discovery of her mother's suicidal thoughts.

About the Film

Got you is an Emerson College: BFA short narrative film that tells the story of an 8 year old girl's discovery of her mother's suicidal thoughts and how this discovery shakes her view of her mother and of the world.

One of my main goals with this film is to open discussion on topics that are rarely talked about. Some of the themes presented in this film are single motherhood, depression, poverty, and suicide. When we can talk openly about tough topics we can start to take away associated stigmas. I believe that healing and progress starts with discussion, and hopefully my film can be a catalyst for such talk.

How Will Donated Money be Used?

The money that is generously donated by all of you will be put toward renting a camera and all the equipment that goes along with that (i.e: lighting, extra batteries, ect.), providing food on set, paying for insurances, and buying necessary props and costumes.Thanks again for all your help!

How Does Kickstarter Work?

I set a fundraising goal to $5,000.00. Kickstarter is an all or nothing deal. If I do not meet my fundraising goal I get not even a penny of what was donated. With that being said, I have 30 days to raise enough money to meet the goal that I set. (Needless to say it is a bit scary.) The project CAN go over the fundraising goal. With more money, we could make "Got You" that much better! Once you have chosen an amount to donate you will receive the reward set for that donation at the estimated time set for that reward. If I do meet my goal (fingers crossed), Kickstarter will get the money to production and no more work is needed from you. Thank you so much for your interest in "Got You."
