Survival Isn't Luck. It's a Service.
FINAL GIRL FOR HIRE — A short horror/comedy with
killer laughs and absolutely no refunds.
Our goal: $1,700 to Make Horror Fun Again!
From J7 CINEMAS & REANIVERSE ENTERTAINMENT
What if surviving a horror movie wasn't about luck... but about knowing exactly what you're doing?
And what if you could charge people for it?
Introducing FINAL GIRL FOR HIRE, an original independent short horror/comedy that puts a hilarious twist on the classic slasher genre!
Meet SCARLETT VALE, a stylish, quick-witted, sarcastic survivor who's encountered enough masked killers to turn her traumatic experiences into a business.
Instead of running, screaming, and making terrible decisions like most horror movie victims, Scarlett teaches people how to survive dangerous situations—for a price!
But when a masked killer unexpectedly enters her apartment, he quickly discovers that he's picked the WRONG final girl.
She's not afraid of him. She's more concerned about how terrible he is at his job!
What follows is a darkly hilarious battle of survival, sarcasm, and unexpected business opportunities.
WHY WE WANT TO MAKE THIS FILM
We believe horror should be more than just screams, blood, and jump scares.
We want to bring back the FUN in horror!
Our goal is to create an entertaining horror/comedy that combines suspense, clever humor, memorable characters, and the kind of creative storytelling that horror fans across generations can appreciate.
But our vision doesn't stop with one short film.
We want FINAL GIRL FOR HIRE to become a continuing horror/comedy series!
A series featuring different killers, strange encounters, ridiculous situations, and one unforgettable anti-hero who always seems to find a way to survive—and make money doing it!
We want audiences to fall in love with Scarlett Vale, laugh at her outrageous personality, and eagerly return to see what nightmare she'll turn into her next business opportunity.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
We're independent filmmakers who believe great stories don't require Hollywood-sized budgets.
Our fundraising goal is $1,700, which will help cover essential production expenses, including:
Filming Location: Securing the right apartment or house to bring Scarlett's world to life.
Craft Services: Providing meals, refreshments, and basic necessities for our hardworking cast and crew.
Production Equipment: Securing the lighting, sound, camera accessories, and additional equipment needed to deliver a professional-looking film.
Cast & Crew Support: Helping provide the resources necessary for a safe, organized, and enjoyable production.
Every contribution, regardless of size, brings us one step closer to making this film a reality.
OUR BIGGER MISSION
We also want FINAL GIRL FOR HIRE to inspire other independent filmmakers.
The filmmakers sitting at home with an incredible screenplay but wondering whether they have enough money, equipment, connections, or experience to make it happen.
We want to show them that you don't need millions of dollars to tell a great story.
You need creativity, passion, determination, a dedicated team, and the courage to pick up a camera and start filming.
If our little horror/comedy encourages even one aspiring filmmaker to stop waiting and start creating, that's a victory worth celebrating.
BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL!
By supporting our $1,700 wish, you're not simply helping fund another short film.
You're helping independent artists bring an original story to life, supporting the people working behind the camera, and helping us build the foundation for a potential horror/comedy series audiences can continue enjoying.
Whether you contribute $5, $10, $25, $50, or any amount you're comfortable giving, your generosity genuinely matters.
And if you're unable to contribute financially, sharing our wish with friends, family, filmmakers, and fellow horror fans is another incredible way to support this project.
Help us make horror fun again. Help us bring Scarlett Vale to the screen. Help us prove that independent filmmaking is alive and kicking!
OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL: $1,700
