Help Bring My Art to Life

"Obeah" to me is a coming of age fashion film. It highlights the shedding of the beliefs and labels put onto black men and women that we never claimed. Inspired by spirituality and witchcraft, the film displays the fluidity of gender and the self realization that brings happiness. The negative side of being comfortable with who you are opens you to the judgement that comes from external pressures and presences. Would you say it is worth dying to live your truth?

 

This GoFundMe has been prepared to help contribute to the creation of Obeah. The funding would all go to the production of this beautiful film I am trying to bring to life. We all know how difficult it is as artists to fully fund important projects on our own, and I am thankful for all the love and support my community has provided me on my art journey. This film will be fully filmed the second week of October to be released on Halloween! I look forward to sharing this experience with you all.

 

Here is a link to our budget breakdown and mood board for you all to enjoy and understand the essence of Obeah.

I want to prematurely thank all of you who are contributing to this film, your help has made all of this possible and I am so thankful.

 

Thank you,

Samuel
