Greenlit and Beyond!!
Thanks to your incredible generosity, Drink Up has not only been greenlit, but we’ve surpassed our goal, raising $5,040 and counting!
We truly cannot express how grateful we are. Your support is helping us bring this film to life by covering essential post-production costs:
🎬 Editing by @sk.wolcott
🎨 Color by @marietafarfarova
🎵 Original Music by @petezbeatz
🔊 Post Sound by @brettwrossiter
📋 Post Production by @frangosart
✨ VFX & Finishing by @resboldt
🎟️ Festival submissions to Austin, Chicago, NOLA, Telluride, and many more!
This journey wouldn’t be possible without you, and we’re forever thankful.
But we’re not done yet…
With 4 days left, we’re reaching for our stretch goal of $7,500, which will allow us to take Drink Up on the road — covering travel to key festivals across the country so we can share the film far and wide.
Will you help us cross the finish line?

Crew Spotlight: Danny Olivares @dannyo2116 - Gaffer
Drink Up wouldn’t be what it is without the hard work and artistry of Danny Olivares. A true collaborator with a sharp eye for lighting, Danny’s fingerprints are on every frame of this film.
From choosing the perfect lights and positioning, to flying in neg fill or finessing shadows with a tube on an arm, Danny brought creativity, precision, and consistency to every setup. Lighting played a crucial role in telling Carter Baddock’s story, and with Danny at the helm, we were in the best hands.
Here’s to you, Danny, for lighting the way!

We’re Greenlit!! 🎉
Thank you soooo much for your support — we couldn’t have done it without you! 💚
Because of you, we’ve hit our greenlight threshold… but we’re not done yet! Our ultimate goal is $5,000, and we’re now less than $1,000 away. Let’s keep the momentum going!

We’re almost there! Thanks to our incredible supporters, we’re just $185 away from hitting 80% — the milestone we need to get greenlit. With 7 days left, we’re feeling hopeful and grateful.
Let’s finish strong! Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and followed our campaign. 💛

We are so close—just 30% left to hit our goal, or $1,485 to greenlight this film. That’s like 285 pints of @budlight 🍻 … and honestly, what’s a better use of that money?

Thanks to you we’ve raised 16% of our goal but we still have more to go! Seed&Spark only greenlights projects that reach at least 80% of their goal. For us that $4,000. Without that 80% Drink Up doesn’t move forward. So if you are thinking of backing us now is the time! Every contribution means the world to us whether that is a financial contribution or share. We appreciate you and can’t wait to serve up something great!
