Weekend Take

Independent Film Project

Support Independent Film

We're producing three short horror films and welcome support from those who believe in independent cinema. 

 

Donations of any amount are welcome and appreciated. All donations go directly toward production costs including equipment, locations, and post-production. Donations are not tax-deductible.
 

As a gesture of gratitude, we may thank supporters in the film credits and invite them to our cast and crew screening, though we cannot guarantee this for all supporters.

About the Project

Three professionally-crafted horror short films featuring experienced directors and industry talent. We've chosen the horror genre for its commercial appeal and festival potential, though we make no guarantees about distribution or financial success.
