THE GYMNAST is a film about loss and perseverance in the face of extreme odds, and the making of the film has mirrored that narrative. I’ve developed other films, but my heart keeps pulling me back to Monica’s story. Brit, our lead, is perfect for this role—but she, like all living beings, is getting older. After years of trying to finance the film through traditional models, we still have a gap.
We need to raise $46,000 to shoot the film. Through the whole process of pushing to get THE GYMNAST made, I’ve felt such love and support from my community. Filmmaking is truly a collaborative process, which is why I humbly ask for your support at this critical moment—to bring THE GYMNAST into production.
Your contribution will go straight to the production of THE GYMNAST. We are raising money to cover the cost of crew, production design, costumes, rental of equipment, and, of course, food, to make sure everyone is well-fed.
As of July 18th, this project has raised $34,500 of their $46,000 goal. This project has 3 days left to raise the $46,000 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $25, you will get a digital postcard. For a pledge of $50, you will get an exclusive image.
