“Donate As You Will To Complete This Dream “

The pandemic brought about the realisation of how restrictive our world can be, leading to feelings of loneliness and helplessness. During this time, I contemplated the concepts of physical and emotional space, ultimately birthing the idea for this project. I collaborated with other like-minded passionate artists to share our personal experiences with the world.

Despite several difficulties in finding initial funding, we have finished the edit and are currently in the post-production stage. I am now seeking finishing funds to do the foley, dubbing, music, sound design, mixing, grading, festival submission and promotion of the film.Your kind contribution will help us to complete the film, Sticky Notes.
