NEW: stretch goals!

Thanks to our generous contributors, our funding goal for shooting this film has now been met! THE OTHER THING will get made and will get made well!!

We’re going to leave our donation window open (and perks available) for a little while longer. Any additional funds raised at this point are still vitally important and critical to the success of this film. The more money we raise, the more festivals we can enter and the more chances there will be to win awards (and to see your name in the credits on the silver screen)!

And the better this film does, the better it will be for the careers of everyone involved.

On behalf of the cast and crew of THE OTHER THING, thank you so much for your support! Honestly, words don’t do it justice. We’re going to make you proud.

What we can tell you is that we’re filming the entire thing on a mobile phone (an iPhone Xs Max to be precise)… with a lot of other fancy gadgets like gimbals, motion-control sliders and special anamorphic lenses to give everything a cinematic look.
