LifeHouse tells the story of a group of college-aged interns who live together in the Bronx and work at a crisis pregnancy center. In addition to gaining incredible access to the key characters and locations involved in this story, we have also started shooting a significant amount of our film, but we need your help!

As we continue to shoot this important story, we will be embedding ourselves into many sensitive situations and interactions. In order to best capture these moments and to share this story with the world, we are raising funds to help us cover the cost of additional equipment and services, such as camera lenses, shoulder rigs, memory cards and music composition. Your generous contribution will also help cover transportation to shooting locations and distribution costs once the film is complete.
