I’m personally funding a portion of the film out of pocket, because I believe deeply in this story. But to make Orbit possible, I need your help as well. This campaign’s goal is to raise $5,000 to cover essentials like cast, crew, our single-room location, and post-production. Together, your contributions and my own investment will bring Dawn & Jericho’s story to the screen.

This campaign isn’t just about finishing a short — it’s about proving what’s possible. With your help, Orbit becomes the blueprint for a larger limited series that centers women’s emotional stories with nuance and truth.

By supporting this project, you help launch something bigger than the runtime.

Your contributions will help fund every part of Orbit. From the first rehearsal to the final festival screening. Donations support our cast and crew, the passionate team bringing this story to life, as well as the single-room location where the film unfolds. They cover the tools to shape the look and feel of the film—camera, lighting, wardrobe, makeup, and carefully chosen props that turn a bedroom into a world of love and memory. They also ensure our team is cared for with meals on set, because fed artists make better art.

Beyond production, your support carries Orbit through editing, sound, color, and score, then out into the world with marketing and festival submissions. And because every production holds surprises, part of your donation also helps us stay prepared with a contingency fund. In short: every dollar goes directly into the heart of this project.

Every dollar gets us closer to the goal. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your contribution directly funds our cast, crew, production needs, and post.

You’re not just donating — you’re helping an independent story find its way into the world.

Tell your people. Post it. Text it. Share the campaign link. Tag us. Every share expands our orbit and brings this story closer to being made.
