Over this summer, our team will be bringing Deteriorate, a psychological thriller short film, to life after months of writing, planning, and preparation.

Everyone involved is donating their time, energy, and talent to make this project happen, but there are still unavoidable production costs that come with creating a film at this scale. Contributions to our Seed&Spark campaign help cover essentials such as food for cast and crew, travel expenses, gear, props, location costs, etc.

Every donation, regardless of size, directly supports the making of Deteriorate. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this post and our campaign with friends and family is just as valuable.

Visit the Seed&Spark link to learn more about the project and see the reward tiers available for supporters.
