This year I'll be graduating film school as a director with a short western film about processing grief. It's based on a very personal fear of losing my older military brother in the field.
The story is about a 25 year old cowboy Phiro, who faces off with the bandit Roscoe, who forces her to end the life of her brother. With blood on her hands, sorrow in her eyes, and anger over her powerlessness, she follows the trail towards her new enemy, seeking revenge. However, her path is not without danger... Phiro is warned not to pursue Roscoe. She meets a 15-year-old teenager who is dealing with her own loss. The Kid joins Phiro and they continue their journey together. In a final confrontation with Roscoe, Phiro must choose whether to walk away from this destructive path or to take justice into her own hands by seeking revenge herself.
In oder to graduate I have to fund and make this film.
That's where you all come in!
I'm currently running a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for my graduation. If you have anything to spare, I would really appreciate a donation, however big or small! 🙏🧡
There's also rewards for different amounts of donations. For example, for €15 you'll get to see exclusive Behind the Scenes material. If you've got a little more to spend you'll receive a personal thank you card from me and the crew for €50.
For €100 your name will shine in the credits of my film and for €250 you'll get a limited edition, handmade, plush keychain made by myself! 🤠🐴
There's more information about me, the film and the rewards on the crowdfunding page!
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS ME GRADUATE! 🧡
Please reblog this or share the campaign with your friends and family! YOU can be the one to change my life 😊
No, I'm not 100% done with it, but sod it, I've been working on this piece since 2017. I need to start posting it or I'm going to rip my hair out. So we will be posting it very...
...very...
...slowly.
This way I have time to finish the last, problem scene unrushed with no pressure on me or my beta readers ('cause funny thing, we all have lives). Hell, I may wind up needing to re-rewrite the scene in question, in which case we will pause all together.
But the story is done, so unless I'm run over by a train, it will get up eventually. (Actually, I have a system in place for if I do get run over by a train, so no worries.)
Immense thanks to everyone on Tumblr who has ever given feedback or helped trouble shoot or answered a question or helped with research or...well, anything. You are all what's made this as good as it is.
These people include but are not remotely limited to:
“Glo up: post the oldest selfie you can find and then post a current one next to it”
2010 // 2017
Technically speaking the left one isn’t a selfie, but I started taking selfies around two years ago. So the difference wouldn’t be very spectacular. Like. I am not a selfie person XD. The right one is from a few weeks ago, for I decided I needed a new Facebook picture haha
I tag whoever wishes to do this! Since I don’t know who to tag or whether I should hehe 💙
No okay but Wilhelm coming back to school trying to get any reaction from Simon only to be met with cold distance (which is understandable) must have hurt him so much.
And then him seeing Simon with Markus and getting jealous must have hurt even more, so he confronts Simon about it, and Simon not completely willing to let go of Wilhelm yet tells him that yes they hang out but they are not together; giving Wilhelm the first glimpse of hope that they might yet reconcile.
Then him finding out that Simon and Markus are in fact together and Simon "lied" about it, seeing them kiss in public in school. That must have been especially heartbreaking...
So he doesn't know what to do with his heartbreak and decides to just try to suppress his feelings, and tells Simon that he's going to leave him alone so Simon and Markus can be together without him in the way. And Simon again not quite willing to let go of Wilhelm goes after him and initiates a kiss. Obviously Wilhelm took this as Simon saying "I want to get back together!" so he smiles and finally feels this weight of sorrow fall off shoulders. He's so relieved!
But then the next day when he runs into Simon again he's told that it was a mistake and he's the reason everything good in Simon's life gets taken away.
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH THAT HURTS???
To be longing for someone and having them actively reject you at first, give you a glimmer of hope the next day, completely shatter that hope a week later only to overload you with new hope that feels so real this time, and then take away that hope again the next morning
False hope is such a shitty thing, especially when you realize your hope was false
With X-men '97 now running on Disney+ and hopefully blowing some new life into the X-men fandom... I am begging you! If you start a fanzine or see a fanzine based around any X-men related things! LET ME KNOW!! Please! I am begging you!!
