Cannes Film and Business Program

Dear family, friends, and peers, 

I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime by being accepted to take part in the American Pavilion Program at this years Cannes Film Festival. Cannes is the most prestigious film festival in the world, and it would truly change my life to be involved in such an important piece of film history. I'll be flying to France working for the Pavilion and networking with professional filmmakers and other students as well. I'll even get to premiere my most recent short films!

Unfortunately, part of getting accepted into the program requires a $4,000 program fee. This fee is due in two short weeks on February 22nd. I am reaching out because I desperately want to participate in this program, but do not have the funds. Any donation to my involvement in this program is also a donation to me getting one step closer to my filmmaking dreams.

I cannot express how grateful I am for those of you that donate, and for those that even just take the time to read this. If I am able to make it to the program, I will be sure to document my own experience to share it with all of you.

Thank you so much for your support,

Gabe
