White House Film Festival Fund

My name is Nashrah Mohd Reza. I am 15 years old and live in Colorado. The White House hosts an Annual Student Film Festival to showcase young, aspiring videographers from all over the nation. This year's theme is "The World I Want to Live In." I was given the opportunity to create a short 3 minute film depicting the theme. The top selected film makers would then be invited to showcase their film at the White House.

What I envisioned for my film was to show the World what it is like being a young Muslim woman in America. I am pleased to inform you all that my video is a Final Selection and it is to be showcased at the White House Film Festival Event on Oct. 2-3 at the White House! 

I am incredibly excited for this opportunity, however I need some help raising funds for my trip.  My goal is to raise $5,000 to accomodate for traveling fees, housing, food, and some extra spending cash. The event is on Oct. 2-3 and so I am hoping to be able to raise this money by Oct.1.

This means the world to me because this is such a prestigious honor and I am ecstatic to be able to go to the White House and meet President Obama and the other fellow film makers. 

I would be so grateful if you were able to help me out, any amount of money would be amazing. Again, thank you so much to all who have supported me and gotten me to this stage. Without you all, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Love,

Nashrah M.
