“Skit/ish," written and directed by Dan McRaven, is not your traditional narrative student film. Taking inspiration from filmmakers such as Jordan Peele and Bob Odenkirk who got their directorial debuts in comedic sketches, "Skit/ish" is a compilation of unique skits.
The goal of "Skit/ish" is simply to provide quirky and absurd humor that delights in a refreshing non-meaning. It revels in existentialism. The meaning behind each skit is simple– relax, enjoy, and smile.
Even though the group of students is working on this project for Cleveland State's film school, it is not simply fulfilling some classroom requirements. They are deeply passionate about the concept and goals of this film.
The structure of "Skit/ish" allows for plenty of creative freedom-- since there are so many different sketches, there is something for everyone to find meaning and passion in. Their goal with this project is to take the collaborative nature of film to a new level. They intentionally made sure that there are plenty of different aesthetics, themes, and unique characters to ensure that every type of filmmaker at CSU could find something that resonates with them.
This approach ensures that there is no exclusive creative control from just the director or producer–instead, there is a broad and diverse range of creative voices interwoven through each sketch.
Any money that we receive will go towards:
Props
Costumes
Set Dressing
Location Rental fees
Catering, craft services, and other necessary provisions for cast and crew
Possible entrance fees to film festivals
And if we have enough funds left over, we'd love to through an appreciative event and film debut for our cast and crew as a thank you for their dedication.
Everyone who donates to "Skit/ish" will receive credit on the final cut of the film.
Donations under $100 will receive a "Special Thanks" credit
Donations over $100 will receive an "Executive Producer" credit
All donors will also receive the final version of the film. We will post a link to the final product on this GoFundMe page when it's complete. We'll also make sure to send out an email with the final cut included to anyone who provides an email along with their donation.
