I Promise You - Short Film

About The Film

I PROMISE YOU centers on late bloomer, Audrey, who is following her dreams and falling in love with the process, and with the people she meets along the way...

After moving to L.A. for her acting career, Audrey finds herself thousands of miles away from anyone she knows, including her husband. What she discovers, being on her own for the first time in years, is the magic of independence while pursuing what she loves. Suddenly, she’s surrounded by people who are talented, passionate, and genuine. She finds a sense of belonging she’s never felt anywhere else.

What Audrey doesn’t expect, is the bond she creates with her classmate, Benjamin, a young man who shares her passions, and ultimately a desire for connection that blurs the line of friendship.

This is a story of learning that mistakes are a catalyst for the creation of something new, that growth and change are ageless, and pursuing your dreams will open doors you never knew existed.

Your Impact

It is well-known that the film industry is still severely lagging in representation for women and diversity in casting. By funding our project, you are making a BIG difference:

Women = 100% Key Roles - As a San Diego University study states: For the 100 top-grossing films in 2019, "28% of producers, 18% of editors, 17% of writers, 11% of directors, and 8% of cinematographers [are] women (source url)." For our film, women occupy these roles at 100%.
POC = 100% of Filming Days - SAG-AFTRA requires that only "a minimum of 20% of the total days of employment is cast with performers who are people of color." Again, our film is proud to be at 100%.

Not only are you supporting a powerful embodiment of representation in the film industry, you are making dreams come true for each artist involved. THANK YOU!

And as Cord Jefferson said in his 2024 Oscars acceptance speech for American Fiction, it's time to support indie filmmakers and give new voices the chance to get their stories made.
