The Weight of Waters: A Crowdfunding Campaign for Grief, Guilt, and Love Beneath the Surface
LOGLINE
After a tragic accident at a lakeside festival, a grieving young man confronts his friends about the incident only to be haunted by the prescence of their dead friend.
ABOUT THE FILM
The Weight of Waters is a deeply moving short film that explores the haunting aftermath of loss, the burden of guilt, and the struggles of unrequited love. When a group of teenage friends reunites a year after a tragic drowning, they are forced to confront the painful memories they tried to bury. As the weight of their shared secret bears down on them, friendships fracture, and unspoken truths resurface.
Told through atmospheric visuals and raw, emotionally charged performances, the film captures the isolating, surreal experience of grief. It is a story that resonates with anyone who has ever carried unspoken pain, offering a rare glimpse into the vulnerability of youth grappling with loss and self-identity.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
The Weight of Waters is more than just a film—it’s a conversation. Inspired by real experiences of grief and discrimination, the project seeks to shed light on themes often left in the shadows. We aim to create a visually striking and emotionally resonant film that captures the weight of suppressed emotions. However, bringing this vision to life requires your support.
Your contributions will help us cover:
- Production Costs: Equipment rentals, location permits, and production design to authentically depict the film’s haunting atmosphere.
- Marketing & Distribution: Submissions to local and international film festivals, promotional materials, and online distribution to reach a wider audience.
