Short Film Festivals Fund
Donation protected
$upport a short-documentary about my journey in giving back to my community.
I was born and raised in the Bronx which means struggle was no stranger to my childhood; however my struggles taught me how to strategize and attain more from life.
In the Fall of 2001, I was awarded a scholarship to live in Italy. At the prime age of 13 I had never been outside the USA....mostly because my parents struggled with providing 3 fully, balanced meals a day to a family of six.
Winning the scholarship to live in Italy was "MOLTO BENE" (AWESOME), but it's been over a decade since I won the award and I, regretfully, admit that I haven't followed through with my end of the deal. You see, to win the scholarship I submitted an essay committing to "paying it forward". It's been 15 years since my Italian Summer and I am finally ready to give back.
I hope this short film will inspire others to also pay it forward, so start giving back by helping us fund this diverse & innovative project to live. The funds are to pay for production, including a dedicated production team in LA and NY.
Production costs will include:
Director
Director of Photography
Sound, Light & Video equipment
Talent
Production Assistants
Video Editing
Sound Editing
Crafts Services
Filming Permits
Transportation for Talent & Crew
GoFundMe Costs
DONATE $7500 for credit as an Associate Producer!
LA Production began in April and continues through May. NY Production is slated for September.
Donate today to help finance teams in NY and LA.
