Jodie and Heidi, a woman and a child, meet in unusual circumstances. Forced into each other's company, they find adventure and themselves.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity we have been able to stretch our target! You are now helping us with Post-production Costs. This'll be spent on Sound Design, Editing, Colouring and getting the deliverables (DCP) for the film. Whatever we have spare will also go into Festivals. Again, very grateful for your help so far!
This is the story of Jodie, a woman on the road to recovery or more accurately reinvention. With some sage advice from a slightly odd nine year old, the two embark on an afternoon of adventures, where two lost souls find themselves figuring out that life is all about balance.
Wisdom teeth is a social commentary on growing up and taking responsibility for yourself and others around you. Sometimes it is the adult who wants to be a kid and the child who has to be an adult; a balancing act of not taking life too seriously but also knowing when to step up to the plate. In the middle, our characters find common ground and a world where both of these types of people can exist. It’s very much a film for our era where we take life very seriously and, when you live through a pandemic, we realise that we have to cherish those moments of fun and hold on to them when we can.
We are asking for your support to bring this project to life to help with the final production costs. We have successfully raised half the budget from private funding but we still need a little extra to make it happen. You'll be helping us bring our world alive through production, costume and make up design, kit hire and helping us keep the crew safe and fed. You are also helping us with location expenses and transport costs (van hire, petrol) , as well as fund the work of fellow creatives affected by the circumstances of the world today (for example, the amazing concept art done by illustrator Vanruethai Chansue. Please do check out her work!)
And, of course, you are helping us bring a beautiful and necessary story to life.
