Hi @mikeflanaganfilm.com! I’m Alicia McClendon. We’re making a psychological thriller feature film titled The Woman Who Knows.

In the PoV of a chronically and mentally unwell woman thrown into a murder mystery when she starts to unravel.

Raising funds! Repost?

Which is fine! The director for The Woman Who Knows is male. If I could get a high profile director though, Zoe Kravitz. πŸ™‚

Why do men dominate the film industry? Why aren’t women doing box office numbers like men?

I need to do research. What are we missing? Even psychological thrillers that are female driven are directed by men.

Gone Girl, Black Swan, The Girl on the Train, The Housemaid.

I’m done crowdfunding. I quit. I’ll work my jobs.

I’m tired of mediocre men meeting their crowdfunding goal and making some film that doesn’t entertain, inspire or educate its audience. It just exists because they want to be a filmmaker or writer.

Yet I want to bring joy to people. And educate. K.

I see men crowdfunding and when women do, we struggle. Like with making a feature film.

Yet audiences throw money at them, even when they can’t write or make a good film.

The Woman Who Knows was top 10% on Coverfly. Depicts an ill black woman spiraling. But keep supporting just men who bomb.

I’ll never understand why women have a hard time making their own feature films, but I’m experiencing it.

If you are a film lover and want to see an indie film that’s a psychological thriller featuring a murder mystery, The Woman Who Knows is for you.

Pledge.

I’m a nobody asking for support as I make my first feature film. I’m not Ryan Coogler or any celebrity. So why support a psychological thriller feature film from me and the director?

Because Hollywood shouldn’t be the only ones making movies.

Anything helps!

Low budget feature films that were successful: Creep, Sling Blade, Rocky, Clerks, The Mariachi, The Invitation.

The Woman Who Knows is a psychological thriller that can find success too.

I just want to make films and tv. Like all filmmakers, but I’m obsessed with making movies. Like it’s the only way I can breathe.

We have 1/5th of the budget for The Woman Who Knows. It’s not enough.

Raising funds for a portion of the budget. Anything helps.

Indie feature films can thrive, and The Woman Who Knows is no different.

Let’s get to $5000!

Female driven psychological thrillers are in! The Housemaid showed us that.

I shot this scene for a proof of concept short film.

A chronically and mentally unwell disabled woman is thrown into a murder mystery when her husband’s mistress is found dead.

The Woman Who Knows is a psychological thriller about trauma, loss, and perseverance.

I know I’m no one and you definitely don’t know me or owe me anything, but I just want to write, act and make films full time until my last breath.

Consider investing in a low budget indie feature film.

The Woman Who Knows will find success. Back us.

I’m a nobody. I know. Why invest in this nobody writer, actor and filmmaker?

A low budget feature film can change that. The Woman Who Knows will do that.

Psychological thrillers are in. The Housemaid proved that.
