THANK YOU!

Your generous support is what allows us to make this film. Make a general contribution or sponsor a budgetary item. You are never required to contribute the whole amount of the item. Every contribution brings us a step closer to production and to that end, we are enormously grateful.

Feel free to go through our "shop by budget item" feature below. You can learn about the different areas of our production that require funding and contribute directly to a specific department. We created this feature so you can see exactly where your contribution is going and - most importantly - feel connected to the making of this film.

However, if you would rather contribute a general sum, we will apply it toward the least funded portions of the budget.  Each and every contribution – be it $10 or $10,000 – is extremely important and valued.

You can make both direct and tax-deductible contributions online using a credit card OR send a check to 

Peresempio Picture House LLC
1609 Dekalb Avenue, Apt. 1G
Brooklyn, NY 11237

Please make checks payable to Peresempio Picture House LLC if making a direct contribution.  Please contact us at ohsophiafilm@gmail.com if you would like to mail us a tax-deductible check. We look forward to hearing from you!

If your employer participates in an Employee Matching Gift program, please let us know!

Many businesses offer a benefit of employment called an Employee Matching Gift program. Programs of this kind match a donation made by an employee to a charity with a corporate donation to the same charity. In almost all cases, the donor and the charity (meaning Fractured Atlas) must complete some paperwork to process a gift of this kind.

Legal Fees

  1. Yes sirree, all characters appearing in this work are fictitious. But in the indie filmmaking world, it’s a smart idea to get legal clearances for names, characters, incidents, places and other elements that someone out there could potentially decide they find offensive or defaming.
  2. And since Oh, Sophia is an original, fictitious work, we’re protecting the screenplay by getting the copyright registered.
  3. Forming an LLC comes with a hefty filing fee, but it protects filmmakers, the production and anyone who contributes to the film. We all benefit – who doesn’t want that?

EDITING

  1. A stipend for the Editing Assistant (Bornila will edit once production wraps).
  2. Since we’re shooting digital, we need lots of external hard drives to back up all the footage. The Editing Assistant will get this ball rolling while the rest of us are out shooting.
  3. A computer or laptop to edit on.
  4. Extra editing expenses, such as screening costs, blank DVDs and tapes.

POST-PRODUCTION SOUND and Music

  1. A stipend for our Sound Designer/Mixer, the person responsible for Oh, Sophia’s final audio mix-down – the final and incredibly important step!
  2. Studio sessions to record with the local, independent bands who are lending their musical awesomeness to the film.
  3. Expenses for foley and/or dub sessions to make the sound be the best it can possibly be.

WEBSITE

  1. the domain name
  2. web hosting account
