00:02 - You good?
00:04 - No, they thought my ID was a face.
00:07 - Seriously?
00:08 - Yeah, I couldn't buy anything.
00:10 What kind of 21 year old can't buy any alcohol
00:12 on her birthday?
00:13 - No, it's funny you say that
00:14 because I'm actually making a movie about that.
00:16 - Really?
00:17 - Yeah, do you wanna act in it?
00:18 - Sure.
00:19 - Okay.
00:20 - Hi, my name's Leah Everett.
00:21 I'm the writer and director of "21".
00:23 - And I'm Kylie Ballantyne
00:24 and I play the lead character, Sasha.
00:26 "21" is a short comedy film
00:28 about Sasha's 21st birthday
00:30 and how she wants to go buy alcohol
00:31 because that's what you do when you turn 21,
00:33 but she runs into some issues trying to get it
00:35 and she has to come to terms with the expectations
00:38 that she set for herself at 21.
00:40 I wrote this film because I think a lot of us
00:42 spend a lot of time thinking about
00:43 where we'll be in the future
00:44 and sometimes we set these expectations
00:47 that are so high for ourselves
00:48 that if we don't meet them one day,
00:50 then we feel like we completely failed
00:52 or we're disappointing a younger version of ourselves.
00:55 - It's about the expectations you put on yourself
00:57 and how it's not such a bad thing
00:58 if one day you look around
01:00 and things are much different than you thought they'd be.
01:02 - It takes a lot of time, effort, and money to make a film
01:05 and we are seriously so close to finishing this project.
01:08 We have our last production day,
01:10 our reshoot day this weekend.
01:11 We have post-production costs.
01:12 We have festival submission fees.
01:14 So your contribution will go towards helping funding,
01:17 all of that.
01:18 - Any contribution would help us out so much
01:20 and if you can't donate, be sure to share our campaign
01:23 or our Instagram @21thefilm.
