Fund My Short Film Project!

My name is Josh Gacita and I'm a screenwriter with an MFA from Emerson College. Since childhood, I've been captivated by the power of cinema to delve into the depths of the human psyche. I believe stories play a critical role in starting important conversations around topics like mental health and gender. I've spent years writing scripts, but I haven't seen many of them come to life on screen.

Instead of waiting for permission, I've decided to jump head-first into producing my own short film. I've assembled a small team of other artists with the mission of bringing my short script to life. At the heart of our mission lies the indie spirit - a collective of emerging artists driven by a fierce passion for storytelling. We're carving our own cinematic path, fearlessly bringing this thought-provoking narrative to life. Join us on this journey of creativity, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Your support fuels our vision, making every frame a testament to the power of indie filmmaking.
