Hey you! Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for the SCAD Senior Capstone short film, " PIP-SQUEAK"!

Written and directed by Evie "E" Bressler, PIP-SQUEAK follows the story and downfall of a young queer skateboarder as they throw everything in their life to the side on their mission to win an underground skateboarding competition. However as they pursue their goal, they're emotionally tormented as they also battle an intense addiction to amphetamines.

The film at its core is about self induced loneliness. It talks about what it truly means to feel like a winner, and how obsession & addiction manifests in several forms. It intends not only to shed light on queer issues, and the problems of addiction. But to humanize those who deal with these problems.

While the film deals with heavy topics, as well as a more niche skateboard and queer culture. It will be adaptable to all audiences and will allow anyone to be able to see themselves and their flaws in the main character. So anyone can feel like a Pip-Squeak.

This film is planned to be shot in late spring and will officially wrap post production and be fully ready to release by the end August.

As this film is so specific in its emotion that it needs to convey, it will be shot in an intensely stylistic manner similar to works seen on the Eviorian Arts Youtube and Instagram pages. The film will be shot by talented director of photography Delia Dresser and will utilize her custom built camera mount, specifically created for the film, for a unique and immersive immersive experience. It will be shot in black & white and in a 4:3 aspect ratio, while also featuring projection mapping techniques. It will feature a vast soundscape, an original score, as well as metal tracks from extremely talented artists.

So many talented artists will be involved in the creation of this film, and are excited to make something never seen before.

With your contribution, we know we will be able to deliver a final product that will be truly special. It will have the production value and visuals audiences come to expect from professional studio work.

All will go towards the film for things such as equipment rentals, keeping the crew fed, transport, production design, props, costume, make-up, a stunt coordinator, and biggest off all equipment for safety when dealing with moving objects such as skateboards.

Donators will be credited and be given early cuts, festival cuts, deleted scenes, and exclusive updates in production.

Any amount you are able to donate will help immensely, and we hope you are as excited as we are to bring this film to life!
