Mildly Different was expected to be filmed in 2020; however, funding was
not fully established until May 2021. The director, alongside Sticky Tape
Productions, spent 2 years raising $39k, mainly on Seed and Spark, where
one of the requirements (in the website FAQ section) is that a
representative must be a permanent resident of the USA or Canada, unless
they are part of a company (which was the case here). The film was also
funded with an 8k grant from a Disability Connect Scheme funded by Arts and
Disability Ireland (for residents of the Republic of Ireland), in order to
make the film. The film went into production late July of 2021 and was
completed in October of 2021.
