Salt Year: a short film about a family’s last summer on the coast
A 20-minute drama shot on 16mm film on the Georgia coast. Help us finish it.
About this project
Salt Year follows three generations of the Boateng family during their last summer in the house their grandmother built, before the sea takes it.
We shot most of the film last spring with a crew of twelve. This campaign pays for the final week of shooting, color grading, an original score and sound mixing, so the film is ready for festivals next year.
Every backer can watch the finished film, and higher rewards bring you closer to how it was made.
Risks and challenges
Weather can delay a coastal shoot, so we’ve booked two backup weekends. Festival acceptance isn’t guaranteed, but every backer will get the film either way.
Rewards are made after funding, so delivery dates are estimates. If a creator can’t deliver, they’re expected to explain why and try to make it right, but refunds aren’t guaranteed.
