🎬 From Short Film to Feature: We’re Building «Letters»

I am thrilled to announce that we are officially expanding our short film, **Letters**, into a feature-length coming-of-age drama!

**Letters** is a heartfelt, messy, and authentic story about youth and modern romance. It follows Anita, a young science student who writes anonymous love letters to her lab partner, only for her academic rival to start taking credit for them. But while most films end with a traditional romantic resolution, *Letters* closes on a powerful moment of self-possession. It’s a timely story for anyone who has ever felt invisible or pressured to perform for others.

We are currently in the pre-production phase for our 2027 shoot. We already have our core team and lead cast locked in—now, we need your help to bring the full scale of this world to life.

🎯 Our Goal: Raising 10,000 CHF
By stepping away from the traditional "Hollywood machine," we are ensuring that every single contribution goes directly into making something human, raw, and real.

We are seeking to raise **10,000 CHF** to fund essential independent production costs, including:

* **Cast & Crew Fees:** Providing professional fees for the brilliant technicians and artists behind and in front of the lens.
* **Set Design & Construction:** Building our Science Fair sets and transforming a school gym into an atmospheric, cinematic Masquerade Ball for our climax.
* **Costume & Wardrobe Design:**
Creating the "soft-visual" wardrobe and custom masks central to our characters' identities.
* **Catering & Logistics:** Keeping our 70-person team (cast, crew, and background performers) fueled across an intensive 12-day shoot.
* **Production & Insurance:** Ensuring a safe, professional, and legal filming environment.

👥 Meet the Team
Filmmaking is a collaborative triumph, and I am incredibly proud to be bringing this vision to life alongside an amazing team:

* **Director & Producer:** Shiv Mehta
* **Co-Producer:** Laure Bruttin
* **Assistant Director:** Ramona Salutz
