Help produce THESE SAME WATERS, a thriller film!

Donation protected
Hello!

I'm Benjamin Luk, an indie producer from Vancouver, BC!

My friend, writer-director Kat Savard, has written an amazing short with feature potential, and we need your help to make this a reality.

We've assembled a top-notch team, including heavy hitters like Leo-nominated cinematographer Chris Sebastian Joys, award-winning actors like Adam Muxlow from the BORDERLANDS universe, and then there's me! I'm taking on a creative producer role, and our last short TERROIR – featuring actors from THE LAST OF US and WATCHMEN – gave us the tools we need to make this new film a stunning success.

After years of either small roles or small projects, Kat and I are ready to move on up. Our goal for THESE SAME WATERS is to make a short so undeniably good, we go to Cannes.

To make the film, we're looking at raising $7,500 to cover our location, equipment rentals, our crew's labour, and our actors' rates. We're also funding a big chunk from our own pockets. We're stretching every penny for a beautiful film at the end.

Starring Diana Smendra and Shel Wyminga, THESE SAME WATERS is a queer romance-thriller about two young women – one of whom is faced with an impossible choice; life, or love. It's a story about relational trauma in queer relationships. It's an important story that deserves to be told.

Help us tell it, and we'll include your name in the credits. With some luck, it might even appear at Cannes.

Let's make a movie.

We won't forget your kindness.
