Hi! We are Shital Patel and Maria Sky, indie filmmakers raising money to pay for a revolutionary (and FREE!) TV series that will live on social media platforms. 

We are raising funds for Curated Lives (working title)! It’s a vertical-format mini-series designed specifically for your phone. Think Sex and the City meets Miami in 2025 — It’s short, punchy, and made for the world of TikTok and Instagram.

Each 60 to 90 second episode explores modern dating through the lives of four women — all with diverse backgrounds. The stories touch on everything from the highs and lows of romance to the complications of digital love, set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami.

This is an indie project, filmed entirely on my iPhone with an all-female, diverse cast and crew. Shital and I are asking for $2,600 to cover the essentials needed to bring this vision to life.

The donations will be spent on:

Stretch Goal: If we exceed our goal, we’ll film more episodes, upgrade our equipment, and bring in additional local talent to make this series even bigger!

Can’t donate? No problem! Sharing this campaign with friends, family, or followers who love fresh indie content helps more than you know. Every little bit counts!

Thank you for supporting local creators and helping us tell stories that matter.

There are no rewards or benefits to anyone who donates, except for helping independent artists bring an innovative story to life.
