Cuba Street is a in the making independent short film from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Principal photography was wrapped over a weekend of April by a group of filmmakers graduated at Film and Audiovisual Media at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (Federal University of Pernambuco) with professional and novice actors. The screenplay was born from real conflicts (the actors play variations of themselves), that were amplified and fictionalized, having elements of thriller and horror films as inspiration. 

It took a mere two months from script to shoot, on a fast but efficient pre-production that resulted in a succesful shooting day on a organized set. Motivation was simply the willing and passion for making movies.

Cuba Street was shot with no money. There wasn't any kind of financial support during pre production and production. The result: a lot of money was spent, nobody got paid and we don't have any money to finish the movie. The money from this crowdfunding will be used to pay for color correction, sound editing, sound mixing and to produce a DCP copy of the short film, so it can be shown at film festivals around the world. Part of the money will be used to pay symbollic amounts to the cast and crew and to cover production expenses. It's important to say that the amount we are asking is the minimum the film needs to finished with no debts. Based on this minum, the budget of CUBA STREET would be of about R$4.000,00 (about US$1.300,00).
Idealy, a short film like this would be made with ten times a bigger budget. Cinema professionals want to pay/be paid fairly, rent more and better equipment and have a better enviroment as a whole for the entire production so that the films reach its full potential. A budget closer to the ideal, but still realistic and that would put the production in a more confortable situation would be of about R$8.000,00 (about US$2.800,00). 

In case our goal of R$4.000,00 reais is not reached, the amount raised will be destinated entirely to the post production.
