Our Current Project
The Spark is a short film about a PR associate who gets assigned the book launch for a Tantra expert and has to figure out what she really wants.
While the film got a lot of buzz during our initial crowdfunding campaign for pushing boundaries in how I’m talking about sex and pleasure, ultimately The Spark is about so much more than that.
It’s about learning to connect with what you want and leaning into your authenticity as a woman. Even if that means leaving your marriage.
The Spark is rom-com coming of age proof of concept for a feature film, which follows Lily as she goes deeper into her exploration of Tantra and begins achieving the success she always dreamed of in PR as well.
We recently reached picture lock and are beginning the film festival submission process.
Our Seed & Spark crowdfunding campaign in 2024 raised over $10K including a Patron’s Circle Grant from Jason Reitman. We were also recognized as a Semi-Finalist for PANO Microgrants Round 5. This campaign covered our production costs, including paying our all female and non-binary cast and crew.
During our 2025 End of Year Fundraising Campaign, we raised 95% of our goal (nearly $5K) to cover post-production, marketing and film festival fees.
We are still welcoming contributions to support our Film Festival Tour. All general contributions made at this time will help cover the cost of film festival submissions, marketing materials, and supplement travel costs for me as this film makes its rounds.
Thank you so much for your support!
