Hi Everyone,
I've launched a fundraiser for my latest film project! I've been developing
it over the last several months with lots of help from friends and
colleagues. It's tentatively called* Echo of the Jade Lion,* it's set here
in Tacoma and touches on some of its history to form the plot. Here's the
logline:

  • "A musician inherits a mysterious artifact that triggers a series of
    surreal and haunting events forcing her to question what's real and choose
    her path into the future." *
    I'm hoping to raise $5000 with small donations (or large 😀 ) and plan to
    start filming in mid June. My goal is to complete it before next year's
    festival cycle.

This project is steeped in Tacoma lore and will be an exciting film noir
inspired, glamorous thriller. Planned runtime is 40 minutes. Please take a
look at my fundraising site linked below for details.

I know it's a lot to ask especially if you don't know me but I've been
making short films in Tacoma for the past few years now. I've
consistently been able to produce high quality work and have been supported
in the past by the Tacoma Arts Initiative. Thank you for considering
supporting the project. Everyone who pledges will receive a free ticket to
a live screening in Tacoma when the film is done.
