A Pitch for My Sunset Shadows

A huge thank you to Francisco for bringing My Sunset Shadows to us and for setting the project out so clearly. We at Hollywood Indie Festival are cheering you on as you continue to create. The pitch follows below.

What is the central conflict and unique selling point of your project?

More than 1 million individuals live within the bipolar disorder spectrum. Do you really know what they think, feel or truly express? Hear it from a peer-led support group of women with bipolar disorder living in the Caribbean. This short film is only the beginning of this narrative series.

Who is the ideal viewer for this project, and which existing films/series is it most comparable to?

Anyone within 17+ years of age, who may or may not have a mental health diagnosis and is a member of an excluded minority group.

What was the primary inspiration behind this story, and why is now the right time for the world to see it?

Mental Illness affects anyone, regardless of age, gender, raise or ethnic background, Or social economic status. Most if not all members of the production House Either live with a mental health diagnosis or have lost loved ones because of them. We believe in raising awareness through lived experience- The new era in which patients have the final say. Nothing about us without us!

Is the project fully completed, or are you currently seeking distribution, finishing funds, or representation?

Our production team Made this short film to raise money for a mental health documentary We are going to start producing by end of year in the Dominican Republic. There is nothing of this kind in our country and we want to be pioneers in this subject. we are currently seeking production funding, consider, considering that filming in the Caribbean is relatively cheap cheaper than in any other country. We have built a budget, specialist, team, interview, production, team, and website. All we need Is a push to make it happen!
