Person in the Attic is an AFI thesis film created by a team of five filmmakers working with limited financial access but a highly ambitious vision. As international Fellows, our director and producer face major funding barriers, with many U.S. grants unavailable to non-citizens, leaving us with fewer traditional funding options.

We are raising $40,000 to cover essential production and post-production costs, including a fully custom-built house set with an attic and balcony, camera equipment, fair working conditions for cast and crew, and professional post-production (color, sound, music, and VFX).

By contributing, you are directly supporting emerging international filmmakers and helping ensure this film can be completed at the artistic level it requires. Your support makes this project possible.
