IN PRODUCTION

We are currently shooting our new feature, The Church of the Mountain, in the wilds of Idaho. It’s another DIY film project, with returning Executive Producer John Shorg (A Black Rift Begins to Yawn) and the Sky Melt team.

CONTRIBUTE TO OUR NEW FILM HERE!

As with any movie, a lot of time, effort, food, gear, and other expenses make low budget filmmaking a continuous battle. As we set up with our initial crowdfunding campaign, if you want to contribute directly, we will honor the same rewards, including things like tickets to local screenings/film festivals (locations TBA), producer credits, challenge coins, after parties, etc.

Anyone throwing in $25+ gets early access to our digital premiere once it’s ready to rock.

BREAKDOWN

$25+ will give you full access to our updates & a digital film premiere (TBD)

$50+ will get you the above + a Special Thanks in the film credits

$100+ will get you the above + a limited run Challenge Coin (unlocking secret features in the future)

$2000+ will get you the above + Associate Producer credit (and all festival and party perks therein)

$5000+ will get you the above + Executive Producer credit (and logo/name/brand at the beginning of the film)

SKY MELT is a small production company formed in 2014 to house our passion projects.

After working in LA for a few years we (Matthew Wade & Sara Lynch) moved back home to make our feature film debut, How the Sky Will Melt, in late 2014. We created Sky Melt as the banner under which we would self-distributed the film on VOD, to festivals, and eventually licensed while continuing to create new work.

Sky Melt’s films have been covered in Filmmaker Magazine, Film Threat, Moviemaker Magazine, Deadline, iOnCinema, NoBudge, Cartoon Brew, Hammer to Nail, In Creative Company, The Journal of Religion & Film, Horror Buzz, Brooklyn Magazine, and more.

WRITER DIRECTOR COMPOSER

Matthew is a visual artist who cares little for the sensibilities of the masses. When he’s not writing or directing, you might find him animating or drawing his cat. He’s also a damn good ramen chef.

PRODUCER ACTRESS ART DIRECTOR

You can see Sara in reruns of stuff your parents watch on TV. After leaving LA she made the choice to only focus on producing personal content and character acting (choosing to sling cocktails in order to avoid having to audition for bank commercials).
