Help Bring Inclusion and Diversity into Hollywood!

"Brie's Bake Off Challenge" is a family baking comedy feature film the whole family can enjoy together from start to finish. Fall in love with a diverse cast, charming characters, and feel empowered while watching a young woman of color on her journey to sweet baking success. Our directors & producers believe in creating a film that represents the modern world: one where people of different ethnicities, genders, ages, and sexual orientations are more than just included, but celebrated. Watch the video above to meet our cast & crew, as well as see a special sneak peek from the film! 
Movies like "Brie's Bake Off Challenge" are important to support now more than ever as we fight for the rights of minorities to be featured on the big screen, as well as behind the camera. 60% of our cast and crew are female, people of color, and of ethnicities from all seven continents. Your donation is a step towards a film & television industry where ALL PEOPLE are represented and celebrated.
"Brie's Bake Off Challenge" is an ode to baking, food, competition, friendship and love. Join our main character, Brie, on a heartwarming journey as she aims for the title of "Bake Off Champion." 

Accompanied by her best friend, Millie, Brie takes on her "arch nemesis", Vanessa, at their middle school's Spring Bake Off. Vanessa & her possy bully Brie relentlessly, but we soon learn that Vanessa has a sad side to her story too. 
By watching Brie and her friends as they try to overcome the daily hardships of middle-school life, we hope this film inspires other students in school who may be going through similar difficulties, to overcome adversity and to reach for their goals.
Today's film industry lacks an honest representation of our modern world. "Brie's Bake Off Challenge" wants to change that. Our film portrays strong women in places of power & leadership, people of color as admirable intellectuals, as well as people of a variety of sexual orientations, genders, and age groups showcasing important human qualities: authenticity, kindness, courageousness, and humility.
During production, our crew worked incredibly hard to make the best film possible with the resources available. We strived every day for over one year to produce content comparable to that of todays largest networks & production companies. We believe we have done it, but we need your help to finish our masterpiece. We cannot do this without you! 
"Brie's Bake Off Challenge" aims to entertain families with an authentic, charming and lively story, to educate adults on childhood experiences, to improve school scenarios and to inspire children, teens and anyone watching this film to reach for their goals and to not let fear get in the way.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP:

We really need your help in finishing this movie for Post Production! The movie is currently picture-locked, which means we have the editing portion done! Now, we need your help in contributing to these final three steps for the film: Post Production Sound, Original Music Composition and Color Grading. 

Post Production Sound is a tedious and necessary process for all movies! In contribution to this project, funds will go towards editing dialogue, sound effects, background, foley, music and final mixing.

Original Music Composition is also necessary to help lift the film. With an original music composition, score and mastering, the scenes and characters will be completely enhanced and can emotionally impact the audience. 

Color Grading and Color Correction is the third process for our post production process. This will go towards enhancing the look of the film for all shots to be cohesive and beautiful. 

For BBOC, we had a cast and crew of over 100 people who worked together for a common purpose: to impact audiences with a fun family comedy for families to watch together. 

By contributing to this film, you are changing the status quo in the entertainment industry! You are expressing how there needs to be more films made by women and people of color both in front of the camera and behind.

The BBOC Team have BIG aspirations for the film. We have delivered on high quality footage; and now, this is the final push we need to complete it before the end of the year.

Please consider contributing and sharing this campaign with your family and friends.

We would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
