Hi everyone, I'm a MFA film and journalism grad looking for a producer for a short doc for festival submissions. The story follows a few individuals who share a rare disability. There are so far no other films that have been made on this specific condition. I have special access to the story as it’s a personal one, but the themes are very much universal.

Treatment is made, a decent portion of the budget is locked, but I will need help securing more funds, sourcing the right crew, and helping with distribution. I’m looking for the right producer to help from start to finish. Ideally someone who is passionate about telling stories from voices that haven’t been heard and from a female director. And/or someone interested in a unique documentary story.

Looking to start pre-production sooner than later, in order to start following some of the subjects.

Please email me if you have any interest, or know of someone who might be, and we can talk more! Thank you!
