Help get this trip on the road
Not Expecting This Trip is a character-driven, bittersweet comedy-drama about family, change and the surprising connections we make along the way.
We're Jess and Andi, two actors, co-writers and co-producers, developing our first short film together. We're looking to meet people who connect with the project and would like to help bring it to the screen.
This short is the first step in a bigger creative journey. We also want to develop feature films in the future.
Whether you're an experienced filmmaker, potential production partner or interested supporter, we'd love to hear from you.
