Bath students are raising £2,000 to make the most ambitious film ever attempted at their college.
The hour-long comedy-thriller will tell the story of a group who one-by-one go missing in mysterious circumstances.
City of Bath College says it is the first time students have attempted a film on this scale.
Media production lecturer Ed Powell said the feature film would be a lasting legacy for the college.
"We want to help prepare students for the workplace and their future careers.
"It's an ambitious project and nothing like this has been done before, but we're going for it."
The class of 16 students aged 16 to 20 will spend a week as a professional film crew on location at a 19th Century Gothic revival manor house in the Quantock Hills.
Michael Pearce, 18, who has got his eye on the director's role, said it was an exciting and ambitious project to make students "step outside their comfort zone".
He said: "It's an amazing experience to be involved in, it's going to be brilliant, I'm really looking forward to filming.
"It'll be great to see our names in the credits and be able to add this to our portfolios."
People pledging money are being promised film credits, premiere tickets, production still prints and tickets to the after show party.
The college principal Matt Atkinson kicked off the donations by pledging £50 on the film project's Crowdfunder web page.
