Hi lovely witches and tarot readers! ✨

I'm Ruby, a  filmmaker from Melbourne, Australia, and I'm currently trying to secure funding for my short film, The Familiar.

The Familiar is a quirky supernatural comedy about grief, loneliness, magic, and, of course, tarot.

I'm reaching out to my fellow witches because every positive review or thumbs-up on my project genuinely helps improve my chances of receiving the grant. If you enjoy supporting independent, witchy cinema, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could take a look:

If you're curious about the vibe, here's our proof-of-concept teaser. It's heavily inspired by occult films from the '60s and '70s, along with the gorgeous work of Anna Biller. I also composed the score myself, drawing inspiration from vintage witchy synths (think Myrtle Snow on the theremin in American Horror Story).

Thank you so much for reading and for supporting independent filmmakers telling weird, magical stories. I'd love to see more witchy films out in the world, and every bit of support means a lot.

Thank you! 🖤✨

Hi lovely witches! ✨

I'm Ruby, a  filmmaker from Melbourne, Australia, and I'm currently trying to secure funding for my short film, The Familiar.

Synopsis:
After a psychic tells Ella that her cat, Milo, is actually her mother reincarnated, she finds comfort in the idea…until increasingly strange signs make her question whether it's really true.

The Familiar is a quirky supernatural comedy about grief, loneliness, magic, and, of course, cats.
