Wallflower: The Lingering Aura of Lewis B. Sherman
Wallflower is an in-depth look at the life of Lewis B. Sherman, an outsider artist who is often disregarded and overlooked. It’s a celebration of creativity and a realization that we all make beautiful things when nobody’s watching
Pre-Production.
Director’s Statement
Lewis is an extension of myself and so many others; an artist who must express himself reguardless of situation or circumstance. Being able to inspire others to explore the many fascets of themselves has been very important to me over the years. I hope that by sharing my curiosity with the world, I can inspire others to be more curious about themselves.
– Gregory J. Fields (Writer, Director)
Our Budget
With the generosity of the local community in Santa Fe, a quarter of the budget and some in-kind donations from local businesses are already funded. However, we are still far way from our goal. Producing a film incurs significant expenses and we want to be transparent with our supporters about where their donations will go, so we have listed our main costs below.
1. Providing adequate compensation for our cast and crew is essential to their well-being and is an important part of showing the value of their work.
2. Cameras & Gear: To produce a high-quality film we need to rent out specialized equipment for every day of shooting.
3. Props and Set Decoration: Creating a believable on-screen world requires procuring suitable props and decorations to bring the film to life.
4. Post Production: There are costs associated with each film production we make to finish the project as well as showcase the film once completed.
