What are we fundraising for?

Back to Everly is a short psychological drama-thriller set in a pastel, idealized world inspired by 1950s aesthetics. Society is built around a daily pill called Everly, which is believed to be essential for survival. Its use is completely normalized and reinforced through constant propaganda embedded in television, advertisements, and music, shaping a world where no one ever questions its necessity.

This film explores themes of conformity, control, and conditioned belief systems. At its core, Back to Everly asks how easily people accept systems of “truth” without questioning their origin or purpose.

We are raising money for:

• Art Department - $2000 of our budget will go towards costuming, props, hair and makeup, and set design. 

• Payment - We want to give back and express our appreciation to our talented cast. 

• Food - We want to accommodate and ensure everyone on our set is fed and looked after, as the crew is giving us their time for free

• Transport - Though we aren't paying our crew, transportation to and from set is expensive. Funds will go towards van hire and gas payments. 

Come along and support this awesome cause!
