About the Campaign
Support DOUEN, a feature-length folklore horror film written and directed by Alyscia Cunningham, inspired by the haunting Trinidad and Tobago legend of the Douen — lost spirits of children who roam the forest with backward feet. This campaign helps bring the story from short film to feature, expanding its mythology, cultural depth, and cinematic scope.
Your contributions will directly support:
-
Production and cast, and crew wages
-
Equipment and gear rentals
-
Wardrobe, props, and set design
-
Special effects makeup
-
Post-production and accessibility services (audio description, captions, etc.)
-
Marketing and distribution
Every dollar helps DOUEN come to life. If you’re unable to contribute financially, you can still make a huge impact by following the campaign on Seed&Spark and sharing it with your network.
