Baby Tooth - Short Film

Overview
Baby Tooth is a surreal body horror film which follows May on the day of her best friends' wedding - when her teeth suddenly begin to wiggle and fall out. Baby Tooth aims to distill down the universal tooth nightmare into one chaotic day, and explore what it feels like to believe there is something deeply, terribly wrong with you.
To bring these tooth nightmares to life we need your help. We are working with an extremely talented prosthetics artist, and we need your help to take the prosthetics from concept to reality. The money we raise will be distributed to make the in-camera prosthetics shine, as well as support in providing our crew and cast with delicious food throughout our 3-day shoot. In line with the concept of - go big or go home - Baby Tooth is an ambitious project and we would appreciate any support possible to make it a reality.

Thank you from us!
Mōrena all you lovely people,
Just wanted to say an enormous thank you from me and my team for helping us get Baby Tooth to (over) 100% of our fundraising goal! I feel incredibly lucky to be making this film, and even luckier for doing it surrounded by such an awesome community.
We are into the depths of the edit now and look forward to sharing the film with you all at a premiere later this year.
Here are a few behind the scenes stills from the shoot. I look forward to sharing more updates as we track through the process of post-production.
Thank you again so much for helping us make this film real!
Cheers,
Raphaella, Ashleigh & Chantelle
