A Life Changing Black & White Love Story
Donation protected
What does brotherhood mean when faced with the pressures of the outside world?
Frances, a white mother adopts two sons right after her husband Freddy is murdered in the aftermath of the Rodney King riots in ‘92. On a mission to honor his memory, Frances raises Florence (black) and Normandie (white), where being each others’ keeper is paramount. Whether they live up to that promise is up to them…
Why this campaign:
This campaign will finance a film that sheds light on the ongoing social injustice in this country through powerful, impactful storytelling. Our main objective is to create and provide jobs for the hardworking men and women of color in the film industry who have been out of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the overwhelming production shutdown that has devastated the film industry.
These donations will help pay for crew & post production costs.
Production Date:
We plan on shooting this powerful film on November 9 - November 13, 2020.
Our team *please click link to view our previous work*
A global community of filmmakers dedicated to telling meaningful stories that will impact people by providing a lens into recent events that expose social injustices in America. The realities of living while black in America. Although the overall sentiment of our team is the utmost respect for police officers that serve in the line of duty, many of us have had difficult interactions with the police. Notably, our Director, Riley Robbins faced police brutality firsthand during a wrongful traffic stop.
We seek to tell this powerful story to further discussions and implement actionable changes, with the intent of improving race relations among all communities.
The support of our campaign has been a humbling and an uplifting experience. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you that donated or simply just took the time out of your day to read this.
Despite this uncertain moment in our lives, I have every confidence in our ability to pull together with kindness, care and concern for the common good.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU
