CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN FOR THE DOCUMENTARY FILM
"WELD QUEENDOM"

JOIN OUR TEAM BY DONATING AND INSPIRE
PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD!

I’m raising funds to finish my first feature film.

Here’s why it matters — and how you can be part of its birth:

My name is Julia. I’m a director, and six years ago I started making a film about a woman who once dreamt of a meditating cat.

 

That dream changed everything. She quit her job, picked up a welding torch, started making sculptures — and became a Queen. Literally. She built her own Queendom of Welding. At its heart: freedom, fire, metal, power, and the full right to be yourself.

This is a film about dreaming big, about creative madness, about inspiration and freedom.


About a woman who follows her vision — all the way.
Who doesn’t wait for permission.
Who doesn’t take commissions.
Who takes out a loan and builds a massive sculpture — and brings it to Burning Man.

This is a story about the spark inside that demands expression.
About becoming whoever you want to be — if only you let yourself.

This film is about us. About me. About you.


About the power to keep going even when you’re broke, even when everything’s against you.
Especially then.

The film is already shot. It's edited. The color grading is done. It's alive — vibrant and powerful.
Right now, we’re working on graphics, music, animation, sound, documentation, and the festival campaign.

I’ve poured everything into it — time, money, energy, friends, inspiration.

Now, I have just one thing left: the desire to finish the film and send it into the world.

At this point I really need your support.
To pay the incredible team that’s already working. To not wait or delay. To send the film into the world — bright and inspiring.

Why crowdfunding?
Because I’ve supported this project for six years.

Because I've already done everything I could do alone. 
Because I can’t wait any longer.
Because the film matters — and because we need stories like this.
Because it’s time to see women who don’t ask, who don’t submit, who burn with vision and do it anyway.

Because now, when the world has gone mad and wars are everywhere, it’s more important than ever to see the light and remember what truly matters.

 

 

The film must be wrapped by August, that is the final deadline.


In September, the film needs to go live.
I’m the director, the writer, the camerawoman.
For six years I haven't given up.
Now I need help.


 

If this resonates with you — donate and share the link with your friends.


If the world feels too dark right now — help bring some light into it.
If you’ve ever been scared to follow your dream — support someone who is doing it right now.

I believe — with all my heart — that together we can make the impossible happen!

Not many people know about it, but you have to pay fees up to 200 euros to submit your film to one festival. Just for them to check it out with zero guarantees!!
 

Festivals are the most efficient way to spread the inspiring message of the "Weld Queendom" around the world.

That's why the biggest part of our budget goes there.

There will be a private screening of a work-in-progress version of the film in July in Lisbon, stay tuned. I will publish everything on my insta. 

If you have ideas on how I can raise funding for this project, please let me know!
 

IS COLLECTED!
