We asked the winners of The Six Feet Apart Experiment to chat about the filmmaking process this past month as they went into production. Leah Bleich shares how proud she is of her team on ‘The Moon and Back’ for how they handled the complicated aspects of production, such as driving scenes + crowd scenes, all while on a micro-budget and in the middle of a pandemic. Congrats on wrapping production, Leah! We can’t wait to see it.

About Leah’s project:
THE MOON AND BACK is a light-hearted dramedy in the spirit of LADY BIRD meets BE KIND REWIND. One year after her father’s death, high school senior Lydia Lee feels completely lost… until she discovers something unexpected: “Space Chronicles,” the screenplay for a $200M+ space opera written by her dad. Equipped with just a VHS camera and pocket change, Lydia decides to make this script a reality. With this project, we have the opportunity to exemplify the indie film spirit through a story that proves that the limitations of storytelling extend only as far as your creativity. With a female presence behind the camera and in front of the camera (and behind the on-screen camera, too), I believe this project can be an inspiration for any budding young creator with a story to tell and the will to make their dream a reality.
