About Max Distance
​
Logline: During jargon-laden Zoom meetings, a programmer daydreams about an eccentric stranger who lives next door, until a lightbulb moment prompts her to leverage her skills for a shot at love.
Accolades: This project is fiscally sponsored by Film independent, a quarter finalist in the Screencraft Film Fund and finalist for the Nuvee Starter Fund. At the very least, this means that I am not the only person that believes in this project. You can read FI’s Letter of support if you want. But no problem if you can’t read.
I am so lucky to be working with such a talented cast and crew! Read about them below:

The first priority is paying the crew. It is a 4 day shoot and this adds up very quickly. The rest of the money goes to gear rental, food, and editing. We have raised a portion of the budget and only are asking for what we really need.
