The Barren Spring is an exploration of art and creativity; the drive to create, the need for self expression, and the interpersonal struggles within an artist’s life. The film asks and seeks to answer: At what cost does the artist exist?

Katherine is a writer struck with a sudden, inexplicable fever. While her husband takes care of her, Katherine’s past, present and fiction converge, offering insight into the mysteries of her life.

Right now, The Barren Spring is heavily into pre-production. Storyboards are being drawn up, rehearsals are underway, and a conceptual trailer has been filmed and released. The next steps include building our own equipment, purchasing more lights and props, and gearing up for production to start shooting in April.

That’s where you come in! By building our own equipment (rather than renting), we can tailor them to meet our specific project’s needs and reduce the budgets of future projects. And after the film is complete, your contributions will shepherd The Barren Spring into the world by making film festival and competition submissions possible! Check out the various pledge gifts and keep track of our progress with exclusive updates and behind the scenes videos as we work to bring our film to life!
