Hey everyone
I’m Mark, a 19-year-old film student and director currently working on my next short film: JACKET – A Hotline Miami Film.
It’s a brutal, neon-soaked psychological thriller inspired by the atmosphere and tone of Hotline Miami — packed with stylized violence, 80s synthwave, and an exploration of guilt, trauma, and identity.
We’re making this film with passion, creativity, and a small but dedicated crew of young filmmakers who want to bring something bold and cinematic to life — even on a tight indie budget.
Right now, we’re crowdfunding to help cover equipment, lighting, set design, and post-production costs. Every bit of support helps us make JACKET as visually and emotionally striking as we imagine it.
If you love gritty indie cinema, stylized action, or psychological storytelling — we’d love your support!
Follow our journey as we bring JACKET to life — from script to screen. Let’s make something unforgettable together.
