CHICKENTOWN - Short Film

Logline: In pursuit of justice, a young woman finds herself hitchhiking with a man she believes killed her sister.

SUMMARY

"CHICKENTOWN" is a short film that follows a determined young woman in pursuit of justice after her sister’s tragic death. We meet Mitzi as she intentionally hitchhikes with Dodge, her prime suspect in her sister’s murder.

Mitzi skillfully navigates through tense conversation, gathering confirming evidence that Dodge is the killer.

Suspense builds as Mitzi inches closer to an inevitable confrontation. After a chaotic and unpredictable series of events, Mitzi faces a critical choice: Will she attempt to avenge her sister while risking falling to the same fate?

"CHICKENTOWN" explores themes of justice, vengeance, and sisterhood. What do we choose to do when the established systems of protection fail us and the ones we love?

WHY DONATE TO CHICKENTOWN?

Our project’s goal is to raise awareness and bring attention to the flaws and gaps within systems that are meant to protect women by using our main character to show women that they can (and must) stand up for what they believe is right. It also demonstrates the psychological toll that loss can have on an individual, inspiring empathy and understanding.

Telling stories on a platform that reaches vast audiences, such as filmmaking, enhances the chances of impacting people with the messages we are trying to convey through our narrative and fictional escape into someone else’s world. Despite the darker themes, the film is about hope, strength, and resilience of womanhood. In essence, this film can leverage impact storytelling to shed light on systematic issues, generate empathy, provoke discussions, and motivate action, ultimately working toward positive change.

We have assembled an INCREDIBLE team of passionate, hardworking, young, and uniquely qualified individuals on Chickentown. We plan to bring our professional skills and expectations to this project so we can prepare to be the next leaders in this industry!

Many members of our team are young women, BIPOC, and queer-identifying so investing in this team, in particular, means investing in the future leaders of our industry's exciting future!
