About us
“HELP” was originally part of the Directing III Program at Columbia College Chicago but after new
COVID-19 protocols, we decided that it was best to shoot this independently to keep the integrity of
the story.
Because of this decision, we don’t get access to professors for guidance, crew that would have been
assigned and camera equipment that we would have received for free. While the budget would have
been closer to $3,000 in conjunction with Columbia College Chicago, we are now needing $7,000 to
make this short happen.
We will be adhering to Chicago’s COVID-19 safety protocols and hiring a COVID Safety Compliance
Officer to ensure the safety of our cast and crew.
As of now we are building our team, casting, location scouting and raising funds to ensure we shoot in
May 2021.
