I am crowdfunding to make a short indie film focused on telling a strong story with a high production value.
Your support, no matter how small or large, will help me bring this story to life.
"Seven Moments in Time" is a moving and funny story about the gap between generations. It explores the misconceptions some elderly people have of teenagers and the misconceptions some teens have of older people.
In this story, an elderly man sits on a park bench every week to have a snack. This changes when a teenager sits on the same bench! The generational and cultural differences cause sparks between the two over seven moments in time....
Until something changes everything!!
With your support, I can make this film and have it screened around the world which will showcase the amazing talented people we have in the film industry in our community.
It will be submitted to Oscar Qualifying festivals on the island of Ireland and globally. I want every member of the cast and crew to be paid for their time, talent and contribution to the film.
