Bear Witness
Grace Symmans | Film
Overview
Faye, a young student living on her own, experiences reality-blurring effects after she faints and hits her head. As she recovers, strange events begin to occur and objects from the past return to haunt her. Faye must face the manifestations of her trauma and find an explanation for the horrors haunting her life.
Kia Ora! Bear Witness is a 7 minute psychological horror created by Two and A Half Women Films. This is our final third-year film project as screen production students at AUT. We are so excited to be bringing this haunting script to the screen.
Our team is eager, passionate and ready to make this film. But first, we need your help.
In order to bring our vision to life, we need to hit our boosted goal of $1000. This will cover the cost of the film, including paying actors, feeding the cast and crew, practical effects, travel, props and costumes. Our crew is hard at work creating a quality product, your support means the world to us!
Why support us?
- Our crew are hardworking, eager, young film makers excited to finally get our foot through the door in this industry.
- This is the last task in our degree, our three years of work have led to this. We have been working together throughout this time and this collaboration will be the showcase of all we have learnt and experienced.
- We want to make something we are super proud of, which the funds will allow us to do.
- We have poured lots of time, effort and love into Fayes story. We believe it’s an important, relatable story and will be an exciting, emotional watch.
- We are extremely dedicated to making this product the highest quality possible - which will only be possible once we hit our target.
Any donation is extremely appreciated, we are so grateful for your support!!

WE SMASHED OUR TARGET
Thank you endlessly to everyone who donated. Your generosity has exceeded our hopes and you have allowed us to make a high-quality version of our script. The campaign hadn't even gone live yet and we bet our $1,000 goal. We can now make the film we dream of into a real thing.
Our campaign still has 10 days left, we honestly cannot believe the amount of support and are working as hard as possible to create a worthy, exciting, emotional, sick as film for you all to enjoy. Any extra donations will go towards funding post-production, festival entries, and overall making everything we can now afford (thank you!) even better.
From our Bear Witness team, thank you so much.
Grace, Paris and Lock
