The Anniversary

Ten years of sexual tension…

One unbelievable night…

The Anniversary is a short film written and to-be-directed by Peer Award winner Stephen Mack. This dark comedy is inspired in part by Leopold von Sacher Masoch’s Venus In Furs, with a script that has placed in multiple national competitions

We are determined to make a film of uncompromising quality, one that stands apart from the typical indie fare. In order to do this, we need your support. We are asking for donations of any size, big or small. All donors will be given a “Special Thanks” credit, while larger donations will be considered for more prominent credits. We are proud to have been granted fiscal sponsorship for the project by Fractured Atlas, which will accept tax-deductible donations in the project’s behalf. Help support independent film and contribute to this exciting project!

N.B. This film contains no nudity, no graphic violence, and no profanity. It is completely inappropriate for children. And most adults.
