Pizza My Heart: Short Film Finishing Funds

Hey! I'm Christine Hoang, founder of Color Arc Productions, an artistic nonprofit founded in 2015 in Austin, Texas. Color Arc's mission is to shine light on inclusive stories through theatre, film, and music. We do that in Pizza My Heart, our first comedy short film.

We filmed Pizza My Heart in Austin in May 2023. We completed post production in September 2023. We are now raising finishing funds to cover post-production costs, film festivals submissions, and a festival run. Please join us in this final phase and help us bring our film to a big screen!

THE STORY

Pizza My Heart is a comedy short about a Pizza Telegram Singing Delivery Specialist (PTSD Specialist) who delivers comfort food with a song to a heartbroken 12-year-old girl hungry for connection and healing. It has dynamic characters, original songs, effervescent humor, tender honesty, and musical escape. Pizza My Heart is an uplifting film that welcomes us to let our guards down so we can let others in. Please help us get our story out in the world.

OUR TEAM

We hired a dedicated team of artists based in Austin and Central Texas. We couldn't have made this film without them.
