  • The Story

    Mission Statement

    CHAT is a passion film project for us as the #MeToo movement continues to gain traction. The CHAT team are committed to Diversity, Inclusion, Women in Film and fair pay, along with the tenet of creating a high quality film with a message.

    About The Project

    CHAT is the story of a woman who meets a charming man online and develops a flirtatious relationship with him until things take a strange turn.

    It’s meant as a warning to anyone thinking it’s their right to terrorize another person either online or in person.

    As an awarded, sold, optioned screenwriter, Kim originally wanted a filmmaker to buy the script, film it and take it to film festivals. Somewhere along the way, Kim was unable to let it go and decided to produce it herself.

    If you’d like to be part of CHAT’s journey and get updates, click the blue FOLLOW tab beside our video trailer or pledge a few dollars and be part of the CHAT Team. See our fun incentives on the right…

    Here is what we are all about:

    The script made Coverfly’s Red List in 2020 and 2021 in the Short Thriller category and had several placements in prestigious screenwriting contests like the quarterfinals in Oscar Qualifying HollyShorts Screenwriting Contest.

    After being a Top Ten Finalist in Shoot Your Short and a quarterfinalist (2nd Round) in Austin Film Festival two years in a row, Women In Film Seattle member, Kim, decided to produce CHAT herself. When Brad Johnson made a bid to direct, the two partnered to develop the project.

    In the fall of 2021, Kim and Brad talked about how to make this film and what it would take to turn out the best version on a budget. Luke Zwanziger, a Portland filmmaker and screenwriter himself, signed on as Assistant Director and the producers felt like they’d hit the jackpot. Luke can do everything and brings a wealth of talent and know-how to guide the team. Luke’s Filmmaker Reel

    By the end of 2021, CHAT had it’s lead actors and the excitement grew. Eryn Rea of Grey’s Anatomy and Amazon Prime’s The Scottish Play, would take the lead, Julia. Josh Price of TURN: Washington’s Spies and Devious Maids, was offered the role of her pursuer. Antonio Mitchell, from Seattle’s Theatrical Scene signed on to play Burke in a supporting role.

    Emmy Award-winning Cinematographer Madeline Down, a Seatttle powerhouse, also known as the Seahawks videographer joined the team and Seattle Sound Woman, Meredith Wylegala, was added. Tara Forth, President of the Seattle Composers Alliance will score the film and Trina Griffin Director of the Seattle Film Summit will be our Covid Compliance Officer and a PA on set. Derek Johnson, a Seattle filmmaker will be our gaffer. He documented 9/11 in NYC, which lead to 10 feature and 4 Emmy credits.

    Make sure you click FOLLOW on the top right and give an email so we can keep you updated on our filming process.


    In the age of #MeToo and calling out men who make women feel less than worthy with unwanted sexual advances, the producers hope CHAT sheds a light on how women see this attention as frightening, knowing it can escalate into something very dark.

    On a personal note, Kim once had a stalker and this pursuit of a stranger contributed in some part to the story of CHAT. She wanted to make a film that highlights a woman’s ability to fight back.

    The film takes place mostly inside a backyard cottage office and around the house and cottage.

    The story chornicles the evolution of an online relationship so there are many shots of two people interacting at their desks. We wanted the cottage office to have a charm that would be in opposition to the theme.

    Shooting a film in the time of COVID, is tricky but we have a very small cast and crew and one location. Our Covid Compliance Officer will ensure safety and cleanliness on set. Protocol will be followed. In the case of a positive test before filming, we have alternate people to step in.

     

    Films cost money. It might be possible to make CHAT for less but then it would look like we cut corners and we wouldn’t be able to pay our crew or actors fairly. $12,800 means we have top talent and crew. The money raised isn’t a number we pullled out of the air. We did a strategic budget allowing for paychecks, equipment rentals, accommodation, insurance, permits, and post production costs like editing and music.

    Although Seed & Spark has been around for awhile and is well-respected in crowd funding circles, especially for films, we understand not everyone will want to jump on board and be part of CHAT at first. We hope you’ll come around.
