Photo-main

Lucy is a short film about the relationship between a struggling single mother and her uniquely gifted daughter.

Lucy is a short, 15 minute, truly independent film.

THE STORY

Single mother Molly’s life is no longer full of potential as she does her best to support her young daughter, Lucy, and keep a struggling business on its feet. When she discovers Lucy has a special gift, Molly sees an opportunity for  Lucy to have the chance at a whole new life; if only she would use her gift.

WHY PLEDGE?

You can be a large part of the film by participating in the completion and distribution of the film. We want people to see our work! All pledged dollars will go toward post production, music rights, distribution, etc. Filmmaking is very expensive and we need you to get involved!

COMMUNITY

We’ve been very fortunate to have a highly dedicated cast and crew working on Lucy including superstars:

Adria Dawn (Actor)
Leah Uteg (Actor)
Kelsie Huff (Actor, Producer)
Marc Menet (Producer)
Jason Madeja (Writer, Director)
Andrew Edwards (Score)
Kim Schaefer (Songs)

And that’s just the beginning. That’s the number one reason to donate to this project: help these very hardworking, talented people get their work out into the world.

INCENTIVES

We have some great incentives that you won’t find anywhere else including high quality prints of the paintings created for the film by Michelle Gordon and acting, comedy & painting classes by experts! Please donate today!
