There are many moments in ones life where one requires assistance from others. These moments can create an impression of the type of person you are. When the time comes to ask for assistance there should be a solid reason to ask.

My solid reason is film. Currently I am enrolled in my last semester at the New York Film Academy, Los Angeles location.

We have been tasked with creating and producing an original thesis film as part of our final graduation requirements.

My movie is a horror film!

Now, don't get scared!!

From what I've learned from film school and many years of watching the silver screen, is that horror can be what ever you want it to be.

The freedom of creation thrives within the horror genre.

My film is titled Desert Moss.

The short film is about a Werewolf who returns to the house of a victim whom he feels remorse for. The man is internally and externally tattered.

His life is a constant battle between the unstoppable change and the rules of civilization that surrounds him.

Our location will be within the elevated forests of Arizona.

The film making will mostly take place within a remote cabin-like setting.

As many of you know film making isn't the easiest passion to follow.

So, why do we follow these passions if they're hard to catch up to?

We must follow our passions, our live's are basically the only tangible representations of our dreams.

We've got to follow our dreams.

Ya'll can help me follow my dreams by contributing to the budget of this short film. You will directly affect my films production and to the creation of a new exciting chapter in my life.

By contributing to this short film you will be funding:

Location
Food
Lighting and Camera Equipment
Crew Expenses
Travel Expenses
Wardrobe and Makeup
Post Production / Editing / Sound Mixing

This film will be created with a small imaginative and hard working crew. The budget will take care of most of the expenses that arise during production.

The many of you that I know personally, I would like to thank you in advance.

Thank You,

Thank You for your guidance and our continual friendships.

Many of you have worked with me in many different settings and circumstances.

Whether we are family or if we have been in school together from Middle School to Taunton High to FSU or worked together within the United States Navy.

I cherish you and haven't forgotten the great times and memories we've all shared, I hope you haven't either. For those I do not know this will bring us closer indefinitely.

All I ask from you is that you take what you've learned about me and apply it here.

I will work my ass off for this project and I will produce a film that will be entertaining as well as impacting.

There will be a run at select film festivals as well.

Lets get this movie seen!

My team and I Thank You Very Much!

We have been following these dreams since we first held cameras as children and made monster movies with the neighborhood kids back in Massachusetts.

Life has taken us to many different places but film has always been a constant and it will continue to be.

This film will be a lot of fun to make and I know that your contribution will assist us with the creation of it.
