'In The Red' is a 15-20 minute short film that focuses on two unrelated characters, Jesse & Nick, who's paths become intertwined. Jesse, in her final year of high school, is determined to make something of herself. She studies all day and escapes the trouble at home by riding the nightrider until the last stop. Things are weighing down on her but she's trying to keep her chin up. Meanwhile Nick is caught up in his own mishaps. Gambling has consumed him and he'll do just about anything to maintain his lifestyle; until a plan goes wrong and forces him into Jesse's life.

How The Funds Will Be Used

Our $1200 goal is going to be put towards a number of areas:
- Providing catering for each and every crew member on set
- Purchasing any/all production design needs (props, costumes, set dressing)
- Location fees
- Post production services that will amplify the quality of the film (Colourist, sound editor)
- Film Festival entry fees

The Challenges

An obstacle that we may encounter when filming 'In The Red' is potentially having to shoot over two months, given this time of year. But we aren't impatient with this project, and have our eyes set on some fantastic locations. So we are willing to take the time necessary to make this film the best it can be.
