In January 2019 I shot a film called Puppet Seizure. A film that took 4 years to develop and make into a reality. That April I birthed a beautiful baby boy named Asher Stone. And now I’m being quarantined in NYC. So, essentially, I have two babies I’m caring for and hoping they turn out their best possible self during this scary, emotional, sad, and chaotic time we are all experiencing.
In December 2018, my team of producers helped me with an extremely successful crowdfunding campaign on where we raised over $10,000 for principal photography of Puppet Seizure. Which means that we were able to film for three magical days with the most incredible cast and crew I could have hoped for. Now we are in the post-production phase and that means we need more money to finish the film. Then, we are going to be marketing and submitting this little gem to the best of festivals and competitions. Of course as soon as our social distancing rules lighten up.
It feels weird to be asking for money but I believe in the power of storytelling and the beautiful escape and release it can provide from real life. Unfortunately I can't share the film until I raise more funds for post production which includes everything from color correction and sound engineering to special effects.
If you already have given money, thank you thank you. You helped us film it!
If you are able to give more money, thank you times infinity. A few more incentives for anyone jumping on board the Puppet Seizure train at this stage:
