Dear Him Fam,
It’s been a minute since you’ve heard from us here - we’ve been very busy!
Thanks to our amazing cast and creative team, we successfully shot our entire 89-page script in 15 days in January 2023. Since then, we’ve been working with our amazing Editor, Kelsey Myers, who delivered the first cut of Him three weeks ago. It’s looking great, and we are excited to share more about the editing process and introduce you to Kelsey in upcoming editions of the newsletter, but first - we owe a big round of applause to everyone who made our shoot a success!
THANK YOU TO…
The cast of Him - Lucie Solene Allouche (Adrienne), Sydney Battle (Savannah), Margaret Berkowitz (Claire), Tess Higgins (Shana), and Kira Omans (Jenna)…
…and Kyle Prue (Greg) and Lisa Barnes (Sarah)!

If you are all about this peek behind the scenes, everyone who contributed $50+ to Him received an in-depth 130 photo slideshow with descriptions. It’s not too late! Chip in to our post-production budget today.
You can also show your support by purchasing some MERCH! There are several fun styles/ colors available, and we get a portion of proceeds from every item purchased. A win-win!
Thanks for being a part of our journey so far. Showing our work is one of our core values for this project, and we are excited to revive this weekly newsletter and keep you updated about our indie filmmaking adventures 🌄 🎥
💖 Tess & Rebecca
