The Great Filly Film Cult Experiment

As an independent production company, we are interested in creating a scenario in which making a full-length film is possible. The idea is simple. We won't be writing a vehicle for Kate Winslet or Morgan Freeman. It won't be set in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. It won't involve CGI aliens or a crowd scene in Yankee Stadium.

So what makes our experiment different from any other independent film?

It is simple. Instead of starting with an idea and then pursuing the means, our means will dictate our idea. Instead of starting with a script, we will begin with lists...

• A list of locations — our own apartments, our friends' yards.
• A list of costumes and props — the clothes and items from our everyday lives, seen in a new light.
• A list of actors, directors, musicians — the many talented artists we’ve met during our journey.

The Great Filly Film Cult Experiment asks the question: what type of story can be written, what type of movie made, when you strip down to the basic elements and work within your means?

The answer will be our finished product.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 as our total budget. Then we will sit down, pour our collective thoughts into a metaphorical beaker, and see what will explode onto the page and eventually onto the screen. We hope you will join us in our adventure by continuing to support our events and our company through your presence.

Forever yours,

The Filly Film Cult
