"I'm Sorry Deer" MFA Thesis Film
Donation protected
After a tumultuous breakup, failed taxidermist Gregory begins
hearing the voices of the animals he's stuffed. The voices convince
Gregory to delve down a darker path to win his fiancee back.
This two-time festival award-winning 10-minute dark comedy script satirizes the saying "all men are animals" by showcasing how toxic masculine troupes affect our psyche. These stuffed animals in Gregory's life try to represent a sense of community for him to heal his woman troubles, but in turn, change Gregory into an animal himself.
Please help us create this unique and darkly funny SCAD MFA Thesis film by donating what you can! Proceeds will help us feed our lovely cast and crew, buy necessary taxidermy props, and pay for location and festival fees, along with paying our wonderful actors(Human or otherwise).
We thank you so much for your support! Stay safe, stay cool, and stay away from talking Deer heads!
Love,
The Cast and Crew of I'm Sorry Deer
