Crowdfund This! Support YOUR MOTHER AND I And You Could Meet The Llama

The Indiegogo campaign for Your Mother And I is already at the half way point, both in days and in money raised. Because this short film involves two things that we love, nachos and llamas, we are making sure everyone else knows about it so they can help out. That, and this is sort of an extended ScreenAnarchy family affair. 

Johnna's dad is a hero - he's fixed the hole in the O-Zone layer, put an end to genocide, cured Parkinson's, and painted Kansas purple for good measure. But back at home, in the kitchen making nachos, he's still just 'dad', and Johnna's heard it all before. In the time it takes for them to make a plate of nachos, YOUR MOTHER AND I explores the complex relationship between an adolescent girl and her father, as well as exploring the ridiculously simple ways (as well as some that are just downright ridiculous) in which we could change the world.

Anna Maquire starred in Ben Ashton's short film He Took His Skin Off For Me which we got behind when it was being made. So now we are going to extend that courtesy to Maguire as she builds on her directing career. She is already headed in a good direction by having Canadian actor Don McKeller and rising actress Julia Sarah Stone on board. 

"Dave Eggers' short story is one that has echoed in my head for a long time. There is something captivating in the world that Eggers' evokes - one not so far away from our own in the way it looks and feels, the food we eat, the relationships we have - but a million miles away from it in the changes that have apparently been effected. It's a fun and funny way of looking at the way we live and the opportunities, however outlandish there are for change. It's a story that gently questions our values and offers playful alternatives, whilst presenting a very familiar environment."

Head on over the the Your Mother and I Indiegogo campaign page. Their budget is modest and attainable with our help. And long live nachos and llamas!
