Our Crowdfunding Groups
Welcome to the campaign for our CSUN Senior Thesis Film, Watson's Aim.
The Story
Watson's Aim is a nostalgic neo-western about a young woman, her grandfather, and the tall tales that save and unite them.
This story seeks to reinforce the idea that everyone - no matter how old or infirm - deserves dignity, and it's also about the hints of truth that lie at the heart of every far-fetched legend.
Our goal is to raise $15,000 in order to adequately produce the project from start to finish.
Just as CSUN alumni have done in the past, we intend on submitting this film to a wide array of festivals across the country. As proud filmmakers from CSUN we aim to give our school and this film the recognition it deserves.

Safety during COVID
In addition to the already sizeable costs of creating a high-quality film, it is imperative that our budget also allows for the utmost safety of our cast and crew. Preventative measures will be a strict necessity on set. These will include, but are not limited to:
