Unicorns |
|
 A female coming of age story set in a small town in the early 90's, Even Unicorns Need to Breathe is a brutally honest portrayal of teen dating violence, offset by humor that is as touching as it is dark.
Currently in development, Unicorns is scheduled to shoot next summer on a budget of under $1 million.
- We are currently looking for a producer. Please email us any recommendations.
- We have already raised half the budget but are always looking for more help with fundraising.
- Any suggestions for good screenwriting labs and competitions would also be helpful.
