Fundraiser for our short film DOG DAYS

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

this is a fundraiser to help us finance our self-funded short film DOG DAYS, which we are going to shoot this July. I started this fundraiser on my birthday (so thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!), and we are now opening it up to the public, hoping to get as much support as possible.

But first, let me tell you a little bit more about myself and the film:

My name is Madlen, and I am a Berlin-based German actress, improviser and voice-over artist. Recently, I have also been drawn behind the camera and directed my first short film, STAY, with an all-female cast and crew. I am passionate about creating a network of filmmakers that are usually still underrepresented in the industry, which is why I am shooting DOG DAYS with an all-FLINTA crew, most of which has already been assembled.

If you know me personally, you have probably heard me talk about this film before in the past few months. I am not only writing and directing it, but will also star in it, because why not? :)

Sadly, even "no-budget" filmmaking costs money, so to help us bring our vision to life, we need YOU! Every cent or penny or Euro you have to spare will help a great deal, to get equipment, to feed everyone, to make the set look good and so much more...

Thank you so much in advance. We don't take it for granted! <3

Love,
Madlen
(+ Toni & Rachel, producers)
