Mother will sleep is a 10 minutes short film by Vala Ómarsdóttir based on a poem by Davíð Stefánsson.
The film is about a mother and her two daughters. The mother, going through hardship, tries to shelter her daughters but her burden inadvertently spreads onto the sisters.
COST
The film is in post production and we are therefore asking for a helping hand in finishing the project so we can cover expenses and send the film to festivals and distribution. We aim to send the film to 50 festivals and we estimate a cost between 1250 – 2500 EUR. There are additional expenses in sending the film and preparing DVD´s and promotional material.
In order to realize this goal of reaching festivals and distribution, to you dear reader, we need your help. By sponsoring the film you can receive it, electronically or on DVD.
