If you’re in Colorado Springs and can make it to our March 1st premiere, we would absolutely love to see you there. Sharing a room with people while a film breathes for the first time is magic.

But if you can’t attend the screening, we still wanted to offer you a way to be part of this journey.

Our feature film is complete and we’re currently raising funds for music rights so we can officially distribute it and make it available beyond the theater. Securing the rights is the final step that allows us to bring the film into festivals, streaming platforms, and ultimately into your homes.

If you’d like to support the release and help us get this story out into the world, we’ve created a GoFundMe. Every contribution, no matter the size, moves us closer to distribution and to you being able to experience the film from the comfort of your own couch.

Independent film survives because of community. Because of people who believe in strange, personal, unconventional art. If you’ve ever resonated with what we’re building through Gatsmenta, this is a beautiful way to be part of it.

We’re so grateful for you… whether you attend, donate, share, or simply cheer us on.

With love,
Skye & Nick

Check it out if you’re feeling froggy. 🐸

We recently had the chance to connect with Skye Armenta and have shared our conversation below. Good morning Skye, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often […]

A raw, dreamlike film built from five striking monologues. Each character reveals the parts of themselves they'd rather keep hidden, blurring the line between confession and performance.

If this non-review doesn’t get you all fired up for some madness and “unnecessary” art, then we don’t know what will!

Close-Up: An Oddyssey is coming for everyone, even you prudes. 😉

A big heartfelt shout out to our supporter and all-around super cool lady, Mariah Devenish, for her generosity and encouragement as we approach the finish line in getting our feature Close-Up: An Odd-yssey released to the public!

We can’t express how excited we are to share this with you… we have never been more proud of something and we look back on the making of this with such gratitude towards the people we have gotten to meet, the experiences, the arguments, the forgiveness, the late nights, the coffee, the struggles, the fear, the laughter and camaraderie.

All of it has shaped us because we are not the same after creating Close-Up: An Odd-yssey. And we think once you watch it, you may not be the same either.

Take a chance?

IT’S OFFICIAL — “Close-Up: An Odd-yssey” IS COMPLETE! ✨🎬

After months of wild creativity, sleepless nights, and intergalactic chaos, our psychedelic feature film Close-Up: An Odd-yssey has officially wrapped!

This movie is a love letter to dreamers, weirdos, and wanderers searching for “HOME” and we couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve created. From cosmic highways to trippy visuals and heartfelt performances, this film is everything we imagined and more.

But our journey isn’t quite over… 🎶
We’re raising funds to cover music rights fees so we can bring the full, groovy soundtrack to life, the way it’s meant to be heard. Every dollar helps us share this odyssey with the world!
