Dear Friends and Family,
In August I will officially enter into my junior year at USC! During the first semester I will be enrolled in CTPR310 – aka my junior thesis production class. Last semester I worked tirelessly on a script that I am very passionate about, entitled “Princess Rose and the Misfit Cave”.
This script is extremely close to my heart. It deals with issues of mental illness and growing up. I have drawn inspiration from my childhood self, my complicated relationship with my sister, and all of the children who have made an impact on my life over the past few summers as a camp counselor at Park Terrace! I cannot wait to work with kids on the set of this film. Which brings me to my next point...
For the class, I have a maximum budget of $1,000 (that I must raise myself) for my short film. Casting children actors (anyone under the age of 18), means that I will need to hire a “studio teacher” to supervise the children on set. Unfortunately studio teachers, on average, cost a whopping $250 per day. With a four-day shoot schedule, this means that my entire budget will go towards the studio teacher!
That means that I will have $0 for food, locations, and set decorations. I will be working hard throughout the summer to find restaurants and grocery stores willing to donate food for the cast and crew, any LA families who are willing to give up their living room for a few days of shooting, and pestering my parents to ship me art supplies and home décor from the depths of our basement and garage so that I will not have to spend a penny over the budget to make this film possible!
I have two internships and am working three jobs this summer to work on funding my film, but I’m a college student in Los Angeles with plenty of my own personal costs, so I can’t fund this film on my own! ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN GIVE WILL BE A HUGE HELP! Whether it’s $10, $25, $50, or $100.
INCENTIVES:
$25 will get you a huge hug and high five from yours truly.
$50 will get you a personalized Thank You card from the star characters of the film- Annabelle and Sorina.
$150+ will get you all of the above PLUS an Executive Producer credit on the film – so you can watch your lovely name scroll across the screen!
Thank you so much for reading and donating – I can’t wait to make this script a reality.
Cheers!
Emma
