The Garden Stays the Same

Aim: The Garden Stays the Same is a short film about two friends facing secrets and loss during one unforgettable afternoon.

Hi, I’m Suzie Jay, founder of Jay & Co Films—a new independent production company dedicated to telling honest, emotional stories that matter.

Our first project, The Garden Stays the Same, is a short coming-of-age film about friendship, grief, and unspoken truths. We believe stories like this can connect us and open conversations about the complex emotions we all carry.

Our team is small but passionate, made up of filmmakers and creatives committed to quality and authenticity. We’re currently in pre-production, preparing to shoot and bring this story to life.

The funds we raise will go directly toward essential production costs: equipment rental, location fees, paying our cast and crew, and post-production editing. Every single amount helps us create a film that feels real and impactful.

With your support, Jay & Co Films can launch its journey, sharing meaningful stories that resonate and inspire.
