We've raised $700 to hire a composer for our short film! For every $100 we raise between now and the end of April, we're posting a new behind-the-scenes image from the Aromcom film shoot!

Here the director Katrina and intimacy coordinator Stephanie (far right) check to see if the actor positioning and camera framing is working for the scene where the characters Brandon and Trey make out in the middle of the community center. It was a logistically complicated shot, so needed a lot of takes, and Stephanie made sure everything was safe and comfortable!
