Hi, my name is Jeremiah Loiseau — I’m an actor and first-time screenwriter based in New York City, and I’m asking for your help to make my dream a reality.

I’ve written a bold, emotional action-thriller called Evelyn’s Bodyguard, and I’m raising $20,000 to bring it to life as a proof-of-concept short film. This short will show the heart-pounding action, the emotional depth, and the cinematic potential of the full feature — and will be used to pitch to studios, festivals, and investors.

But I can’t do this without you.

To make this film real, I’ve partnered with Jackie Shijie Xing, an award-winning director whose work has screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals and earned millions of views online. Jackie brings stunning visuals and character-driven storytelling to everything he touches — and together, we’re going to deliver something unforgettable.

Why donate?

Because this isn’t just another short film.

This is a story about a broken man — a former soldier haunted by loss — who finds a second chance at purpose when he’s hired to protect a young princess targeted by a deadly conspiracy. It’s Man on Fire meets Bodyguard, with high-stakes action, real emotion, and a hero who has nothing left to lose.

Your donation will go directly toward:

Hiring professional cast & crew

Renting cinema-grade cameras & lighting

Stunts, costumes, and production design

Post-production editing, sound, and color

Festival submissions and marketing

This is more than just a film — it’s the start of a career. It’s the moment I stop waiting for permission and create something powerful with the team I believe in.

So if you believe in stories that hit hard, if you want to help an underdog break through, or if you simply want to see something great get made — then please, donate what you can.

Even $10 brings us closer.

Let’s make Evelyn’s Bodyguard together.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

—Jeremiah
