Cully Wright hasn't added a story.
Who are we?
Cully Wright and Julia Platt-Hepworth – artists, friends, and creative collaborators with over 20 years of experience in photography, styling, and directing. We are motivated by a deep belief in the power of connection: with friends, with chosen family, and with oneself. While much of our work together has revolved around fashion and advertising, we have long dreamed of pushing our creative practice into new forms of media, for new audiences. Now, we find ourselves in the right place and at the right time to bring our idea to life as a short film inspired by our personal experiences of rebirth and rediscovery in California.
The vision.
At its core, our film is about the universal experience of finding a home – within oneself, and within a supportive community.
The story follows three main characters, tracking their journeys of self-discovery and their evolving connections with each other. We will explore the beauty, pain, joy, chaos, and peace that comes with choosing to fully and radically inhabit the truest version of ourselves and our relationships. Grounded in the transformative power of community, the narrative uncovers how becoming whole for ourselves goes hand in hand with becoming part of something greater.
The sweeping landscape of the vast California desert, where our story is set, will provide an evocative contrast to intimate, quiet moments between our characters. Shot on 35mm film, the film will contain elements that verge on stylized surrealism – a little bit Levi’s “Go Forth,” a little bit “Euphoria,” and a little bit Lana Del Rey.
We need you.
Together, we are embarking on a bit of an unknown journey. The road ahead of us is thrilling, terrifying, and inspiring, and we are so grateful to be surrounded by an incredible community of friends, family, and creative collaborators.
Your support of this project will directly contribute to making it a reality. From securing locations and equipment, to compensating our talented crew, your contribution will ensure that our final cut meets the highest production standards. Your generosity will also enable us to submit the film to festivals, expanding the reach and impact of our message.
Our goal is to raise $50,000. Will you join us?
