Hi there! We're Alyssa and Jenny, two actors and producers in Los Angeles, California.

The entertainment industry is being flooded with new short form content called "verticals"- as in, filmed vertically rather than horizontally. This is posted primarily to social media sites like Tik Tok and Instagram. We decided to make our own version of this short form content. But to do that, we need a little help from you, our community.

The projects will be posted publicly to Tik Tok and Instagram. To date, we have filmed four indie verticals and have published one full series (you can check it out on TikTok and Instagram @birchmedia.official)! Your donation can help us make a new path in this industry. As it stands, there is little to no independent vertical films on the market. We want to change that. We believe art is for everyone, and verticals are an extremely accessible form of art. Help us bring entertainment and art to every person.

With your kind donation, we can pay for equipment needed (camera gear, mics, etc); food for cast and crew; and cover miscellaneous costs (paying editors, artists, and locations).

Here are some ways you can help us:

*Donate here! We appreciate your support immensely

*Share this Givebutter donation page on Instagram and Facebook

*Send this link to friends and family who are interested in funding independent, local art

Thank you so much! Your support means everything to Jenny and I.
