Like many artists, Austin s creative community is increasingly turning to crowdfunding platforms to cover developmental costs. For potential backers, it can be hard to navigate all the sites out there, so we scour the web for local projects. Remember, do your own due diligence before you back anything.
Who s raising the funds?
Local filmmaker Olivia Nash for her feature debut,
Hi.
What s the project?
The Austin-native Texas State alum has set up her Fox Adrift Production Company shingle in Austin, and the first full-length project is a romantic drama about two young people who meet cute in a coastal town. Yet Lavender (Nash, who also writes and directs) is struggling to get past family trauma that could destroy her chance at love before it can start. Nash is planning to start filming in Lake Travis, Bee Cave, and Lakeway in August.

Who s raising the funds?
Austin Film Society, to help reopen the AFS Cinema this summer.
What s the project?
AFS mothballed their beloved two-screen arthouse cinema near the ACC Highland campus at the beginning of the pandemic, and while they ve launched the AFS@home virtual cinema platform and held drive-in screenings, everyone has been waiting for the doors of the beloved theatre to reopen. However, that means getting the building back to working condition, hiring and training staff, even restocking the popcorn, and that s why they launched the Next Picture Show campaign.
