The Follower
A short film about loneliness and country music.
THE PREMISE:
A struggling country singer joins a platform that gives her subscribers real-time access to her location. On a mountain getaway with her boyfriend, one of them shows up — and she finds they have more in common than she thought.
THE REASON:
Kurt Vonnegut said the two biggest issues facing young people are loneliness and boredom. We cured boredom, and we're lonelier than ever.
THE FOLLOWER is about the burning desire for connection, the hard choices modern artists make (like how to fund a short film), and the strange places we turn for community. It's part Black Mirror satire, part surreal comedy, and part cabin-in-the-woods thriller -- with some original songs.
It’s gonna be cool.
THE ASK:
Whatever you can contribute. We’re using Venmo and this free widget I found so we can save the 3% fees crowdfunding platforms charge. That’s how broke dedicated we are.
Everything helps and every cent goes towards making this film as sick as possible.
