ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY MORE INCLUSIVE? ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT GETTING MORE ON SCREEN REPRESENTATION FOR MARGIANLIZED COMMUNITIES? If so, please read on.
We are a Chicago based group of queer, student filmmakers. Currently, we are in pre production for Pride & Prejudice & Gays- a short period film that features gender swaps of major characters, Regency era glamour, drag, cross dressing, and choreographed dance.
Check out some shots from a promotional photoshoot that we did a few months ago:
Our vision for this project is ambitious. The ultimate goal is to use this short film as a proof of concept so that a larger studio will produce Pride & Prejudice & Gays as a feature film or a TV show. If there is any chance for us to make this happen, we need to do a good job with the short film, and as many of you know, period films are great... but they do cost money.
Most of us are graduate students who are 100% ready to give what little we have because we believe so much in this idea, but our production desperately NEEDS your support if we are to succeed. Please, if you can donate even $1 it would be a tremendous help for us to reach our goal.
Of course, we understand that most of you who read this are just like us- racked with student debt in a declining economy. Which is why we would like to ask you all if you could please at least reblog or share this post with others to help spread the word that would mean so much to this project!
