The goal is to make people reconsider what family and motherhood mean all in the guise of a vampire movie.Clarissa is excited to visit her mom during spring break, but that excitement quickly turns to concern. As soon as Clarissa arrives back in her hometown she reconnects with an old schoolmate, Amy. Amy is still living at home with her domineering parents and Clarissa seems to be the only one in town who believes that something is really wrong. As Clarissa gets Amy away from the clutches of her parents, especially her mother, Elizabeth, it becomes abundantly clear that she was right. Elizabeth isn’t just a typical narcissistic mother, she’s a real vampire using Amy as a food source, and she’ll do anything to keep Amy under her control.Horror movies best hold up a mirror to society, because they deal directly with our basic fears. Nothing is considered so sacrosanct as the nuclear family, but nothing else is quite so fraught with emotional and physical danger. Vampirism has always been a symbol of disease, but it also works as a metaphor for narcissistic parenting and the everyday danger of abuse that exits in every corner of every town in every part of the world. ‘A Dream For Amy’ explores that connection and aims to challenge the audience in their views on motherhood, following in the tradition of so-called ‘b movies’ that disguised heady themes in the trampings of gothic horror.Here's some visual references and films inspiration.Note from the author:I have always approached filmmaking simply: tell a story that people want to hear. Film does not have to be complicated or over-explained. Audiences are smart and they want to be treated as such. In all my work, even if it is not successful, I have told simple, but engaging stories that challenge the audience rather than talk down to them. That is also true in ‘A Dream For Amy.’ At the heart of it, this is a story about family and how family can either be a force for good or evil in the community. The goal is to make people reconsider what family and motherhood mean all in the guise of a vampire movie.And here's our amazing production teamThis is the 5th feature film of the Screenwriter/Director Julia St Pierre and we'd like for this one to have an actual budget. We do believe in no budget or very little budget indie film. That saying, we'd like to make an indie vampire movie with great production value. Our goal is to produce a high quality indie movie on a very small budget to make sure our investor gets a best ROI.Only $124k of the $200k budget is being raised through WefunderWe're planning on filming early September 2025 in Upstate New York and finishing post production by the end of 2025. We already secured all our locations, cast \u0026amp; crew. Everything is set to start production in September 1st. We just need the funds now :)Horror movies represent a huge market in the film industry, loved by pretty much every countries on earth.

I became interested in investing in independent film making a few years ago. I invested in Her Song, a movie for which Marine Assaiante was the co-producer. They put together an impressive cast for Her Song and it’s been rewarding to watch that it come to fruition. Marine kept the investors updated along the way and had a successful trip to the Cannes Film Festival to promote the film. Prior to Her Song, I invested in some other women directed independent film projects. I have met with Marine and Julia St Pierre and discussed A Dream for Amy and the appeal of the horror genre. Julia is an award-winning director of several prior films and both Marine and Julia impressed me with their vision and commitment to A Dream for Amy. They want to produce a quality film while recognizing the importance of doing so on a modest budget. They have identified the location and are moving ahead. I look forward to working with and supporting them in creating A Dream for Amy!
