Support Daddy's Girl: A Documentary Film

Hi All, thank you for visiting my page. I am a current BFA candidate and senior at Parsons the New School in NYC. For my senior thesis i am creating a short documentary film on my father who passed away when i was 2 years old. When he was dying of heart failure he recorded his voice and the messages he wanted me to hear just in case he wasn't alive to tell me. When i turned 18 years old i realized it was time i heard his voice and listened to all the things he wanted to tell me. It was emotional and eye-opening experience; and my love for film and video was born. I created my first documentary two years ago and am now continuing his story as well as mine. I am using super8, 16mm film and video. I am hoping to attend grad school for film in fall 2013 and am working hard to complete this sacred project. Any amount of donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you all. Any one who donates will be featured on the film's website, book and the film credits under "Sponsors."

Daddy's Girl


Here is my estimated budget and plan:



Travel: Flight Hotel Misc to Florida
$800
My father is buried in Jacksonville, Florida. I haven't visited his grave since his death. I would like to return and document my first encounter with him since, and the entire experience.



Camera Equipment, Film Processing and Digitizing:
$1000
Since I am using film, it can become costly. I have to buy actual rolls of film, have them processed(developed) and digitized to edit on a computer.



Website Design/Templates:
$75
The film already has it's own website domain and will be able to view on the site along with the entire one year process documentation and much more.


Print Artist Book
$125
This project is not just a class assignment but a life experience for myself and my family. At the conclusion of the film, i will put together a book recording my entire process, evaluations, notes, stored documents such as his letters, photos etc...
