Letters

This is what it's all about.

Welcome to our filmmaking journey! We are expanding «Letters» from an award-winning short film into a feature-length coming-of-age drama. If you love independent cinema and authentic storytelling, find out how you can help us bring this vision to life.

📖 The Story of «Letters» «Letters» follows Anita, a young science student who falls hopelessly in love with her lab partner. At the urging of her chaotic best friend, Chloe, Anita begins writing a series of anonymous love letters. However, the situation gets messy when her academic rival, Bianca, starts taking credit for them. This is a heartfelt, funny, and messy story about youth, modern romance, and ultimately learning the difference between romantic affection and self-love.

🎯 Our Crowdfunding Goal (How You Can Help) We are seeking to raise 10,000 CHF to fund this independent film production. By moving away from the «Hollywood money-making machine,» every single contribution goes directly into making something human, raw, and real. 👥 Meet the Filmmakers Director & Producer: Shiv Mehta

Co-Producer: Laure Bruttin

Assistant Director: Ramona Salutz

My project is special because ...

While many films end with a romantic resolution, Letters closes on a moment of emotional stillness where Anita chooses self-possession over external validation. It is a timely story for anyone who has felt invisible or pressured to perform for others.

This is what I need backing for.

We are currently in the pre-production phase for our 2027 shoot. To demonstrate our commitment to this vision. This initial funding covers our core camera gear and lead cast, but to bring the full scale of this world to life, we need your help to reach the finish line.

Your contributions will be directly allocated to the following essential production costs:

Cast and Crew Fees: Our team is the heartbeat of this project. Your support allows us to provide professional fees for the talented technicians and artists working behind and in front of the lens.

Set Design and Construction Fees: This is where the world comes to life. These funds cover the materials and labor fees required to build our Science Fair sets and transform a school gym into the atmospheric, cinematic site of our Masquerade Ball climax.

Costume and Wardrobe Design Fees: Creating the «soft-visual» wardrobe and the unique, custom masks that are central to our characters’ identities and the aesthetic of the ball.

Catering and Craft Services: Managing a production of this scale requires substantial logistics. These funds ensure our 70-person team—comprising cast, crew, and background performers—is provided for across our intensive 12-day shoot.

Production and Insurance Fees: To ensure a safe, professional, and legal filming environment throughout the duration of the production.

The Impact of Your Support By contributing, you are helping us turn everyday spaces into extraordinary cinematic worlds. We have the gear and the leads—now we are seeking the resources to build the environment they inhabit and support the professionals who make it possible.
