🎥 Help Us Bring The Wedding Videographer to Life!

The world could use a good laugh.

Let's be honest. The news is exhausting. Social media can be overwhelming. Life feels expensive. Stress is everywhere.

Sometimes what we need most isn't another superhero movie or another remake. Sometimes we just need to laugh. Really laugh!

That's exactly why we're making The Wedding Videographer—a heartfelt comedy that celebrates love, friendship, family, and the absolute beautiful chaos that comes with weddings.

If you've ever been to a wedding where something went hilariously wrong... you'll feel right at home.

 


About The Wedding Videographer

Logline: "When a wedding videographer films his crush’s wedding, he thinks it’s his shot at love, until he realizes her heart was never his."

Comps: The Wedding Singer, The Graduate, Bridesmaids

Meet the Dream Team

Comedy only works when you trust the people behind it.

We're incredibly lucky to have some of Austin's funniest filmmakers leading this project.

Writer & Executive Producer, Bill Karnovsky has spent years making audiences laugh as both an actor and comedian, bringing heart and razor-sharp wit to every page of the script.

Director, Marina Cantu, creator of the comedy web series Where's the Crafty, has built a reputation for finding the funniest moments in every scene while giving actors the freedom to improvise and play.

Leading this iconic cast is Tinus Jewls Seaux, one of Austin's most gifted improvisational performers, surrounded by an incredible ensemble of comedic actors who know exactly how to create unforgettable laughs.

Together, they're creating the kind of comedy that audiences don't just watch...they quote for years afterward.


Why We Need Your Help

Making people laugh isn't cheap. Especially when your film takes place at a wedding.

There's a ceremony, a reception, a rehearsal dinner, bridesmaids, groomsmen, wedding dresses, tuxes, flowers, decorations, a cake, and...an entire church full of cast, and crew.

Independent filmmaking is built on passion, favors, and resourcefulness. We're borrowing. We're negotiating. We're calling in every favor we've earned over the years. We're stretching every dollar as far as it can possibly go.

But there's one thing we refuse to compromise on: The people.

Our mission is simple: Take care of everyone on set.

Every person bringing their talent deserves to know they're valued. Because films aren't made by cameras. They're made by people.
