<div><strong>Help Us Bring <em>Mother  </em>to the World</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Addiction took her years — now she’s fighting for one more moment.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m <strong>Olga Lee</strong> — an LA-based Korean-American actor, writer, and filmmaker. I’ve poured my heart into creating <em>Mother</em>, a story about guilt, forgiveness, and the fragile line between love and self-destruction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve already taken care of the production setup through my own efforts and resources — assembling the cast, crew, and location needed to make <em>Mother</em> possible. Now, I need your help to share it with the world through festival submissions, marketing, and post-production promotion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About the Film</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Mother</em> tells the story of Ana, a Korean-American woman who reunites with Theo — the son she lost seventeen years ago — in a raw, emotional encounter that blurs the line between blame and empathy, forgiveness and manipulation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s a story about addiction, motherhood, and the powerlessness that substances can hold over human lives, inspired by the real-life legacy of KYCC (Koreatown Youth + Community Center) and the stories of resilience within our community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What’s Already Done</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As the producer, I’ve already taken care of the production setup through my own efforts and resources — assembling the cast, crew, and location needed to make <em>Mother</em> possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been a true labor of love made possible by everyone’s generosity, dedication, and shared belief in the story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What These Funds Will Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I’m seeking support for the next chapter — to bring <em>Mother</em> to audiences worldwide through:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Festival submissions (Sundance, Tribeca, Berlin, Toronto, Venice, and more)
</div>
<ul>
<li>Marketing, PR, and promotional materials
</li>
<li>Online distribution and visibility initiatives post-production
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise <strong>$3,000</strong>, which will go directly toward these initiatives — ensuring <em>Mother</em> has the platform it deserves to reach and move people around the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We’re aiming to reach this goal by October 25th so we can begin submitting to early 2025 festival deadlines.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join Our Journey</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in the power of storytelling to spark empathy and connection, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support — whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign with others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us bring <em>Mother </em>to life — and to the audiences who need to hear its message.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><strong>Olga Lee</strong>
