Join us for a special night of film & music! Exclusive screening and Q&A of Playing God, and Oscar-qualified film!
About this Event

Join Us for our Oscar Fundraiser!

We're running the Oscar campaign for our short film Playing God, and we need your support to make this dream happen.

What’s in the lineup:

  • Special screenings of the film w/ Q&A and behind-the-scenes
  • Music by Kudeki and Torsion. Delicious food by Aurora Studio
  • A very special raffle (which may or may not get you to the Oscars 👀)


About the film: Seven years, 12,500 photographs, one stop-motion short painstakingly crafted frame by frame by a small indie studio. After screening at 200+ festivals and winning Best Animated Short at Tribeca, Playing God is now Oscar-qualified! But here's the reality: we're up against big studios and their bottomless pockets, and the only way we can get seen by Academy voters is with the help of people like you.


Your support means everything: Every dollar goes directly to the campaign and thanks to our fiscal sponsor, all donations are tax-deductible. Staying true to the film’s themes of marginalization and belonging, 10% of all donations will go directly to a local charity fighting homelessness.


Come with friends, film lovers, and anyone who believes indie storytelling still matters!
