There are many expenses to consider when creating a feature film. Thankfully, buying or renting fancy cinema cameras and anamorphic lenses is not part of this budget because most of the professional technical camera equipment is already covered. Additionally, we have self-funded 20% of our goal-set budget to help bring this project to life. However, things like filming location fees, shipping and crafting costumes, actor stipends and marketing the final film and more, really start to add up over time.

Why This Film Matters

The other main goal, which also happens to be our team mission statement, is to create a compelling story that exemplifies the problematic of emotional health in society, positively impacting the hearts of viewers.

Ultimately, by being part of the vision and supporting this project, you are helping to share this message with countless people. The truth about humanity remains constant, but finding creative ways to express and convey it is essential. The Augoeides is, at its core, a Neoplatonic message presented in an artistic, visual, and accessible form.

Independent films thrive on bold ideas that challenge mainstream storytelling. The Augoeides is a film about transformation, the unknown, and the limits of human perception. This is not just a horror/mystery film, it is an experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
