Hey everyone! We are Alex and Charlie! We’re actors, filmmakers, and real-life lovers.
From the moment we met, we knew that we wanted to work together. For the past few months we’ve been working on writing a TV series and that is still in-process, but our hunger to create has driven us to develop several other ideas in the meantime. And we finally landed on a short film concept that we knew we needed put on screen… This Magical Moment in Cosmic History
This short is a multi-genre, multiverse romcom meets sci-fi, meets sitcom-musical-fantasy, extravaganza about two lovers.
Fated lovers and space enthusiasts, Celeste and Apollo, meet in a magical moment in cosmic history (during a total solar eclipse). And cue the falling in love romcom montage.
But after Celeste lands her dream job at NASA, the couple struggles to stay aligned. Her career vies for more of her attention, while Apollo fights to keep her in any present moment.
As the two find their way back to each other, Celeste meets an untimely end during a total lunar eclipse on her 30th birthday.
Celeste's tragic fate cycles through different timelines and universes. But it always ends the same.
Is there a place in space and time where these starry-eyed lovers can live happily ever after?
Or is their dark fate already written?
This story is really important to us because it’s personal. It’s a story about love, fate, and the importance of presence. We live in a society that glorifies productivity. So many of us feel like we have to always be “doing” more and more to have some sort of control over our lives… It’s really an act of rebellion to listen to yourself and remain present and connected. But if we can learn to let go and have faith, it’s there that we’ll find the peace and happiness we’re all in search of…
So that’s what this film is about! It’s about being fully present and grateful for what you already have. Because, you know, love is all you need!
I have spent years as a guerrilla, no budget filmmaker; finding ways to pull off things on screen that I didn’t have money for. But when this idea gripped us, we knew we wanted to do justice to this idea and translate it to the screen with less of those familiar limitations.
Due to the genre-bending nature of this short, most of our budget will go towards production design: locations, wardrobe, set decoration, and all the little things that legitimize the worlds we find these characters in.
Plus, we’d really love to pay our crew.
And because we’re artists… we want to be able to share this film with as many people as we can! So we’re raising money for the price of all those festival submissions.
Whatever you can contribute is extremely appreciated, even if you just share this video with your abundant friends!
So thank you for being here, we love you, and we really hope you’ll be a part of this magical moment in our cosmic history…
