The Company:
Mirage Media is a collaborative creative outlet for actors and filmmakers to pursue joy while they grow their resumes, reels, and reputations in the film industry through the production of original short films. We are a community of volunteer actors and filmmakers who support and encourage one another in an industry which is often lonely and discouraging. This is a collective effort to do more of what we love and have something to show for it. We emphasize quick turnarounds to ensure everyone involved receives footage and credit in a timely manner. Our ultimate goal is to be a media platform that can help turn dreams into reality.
The Project:
The Trickster is an upcoming Afro-Centric high fantasy short film that is a proof of concept for a written spec script. This series follows our character Amadi on his journey to reunite and save his family from a powerful foe who threatens to destroy their world.
Short-film Synopsis:
At the outskirts of the fringe, Amadi and a group of refugees are discovered by a rogue gang of savage mercenaries with advanced weaponry. Out of time and options, Amadi must make a dangerous yet unavoidable choice to tap into the power of the trickster god Eshu; an ancient being who is attempting to commandeer his body to serve his own nefarious purposes.
Funding:
We are asking for $12k to pay for all of our logistical needs (food, equipment, permits, services, etc.) and compensation for cast and crew.
