Hello world, my name is Alexander Valderrama and I am an award-winning emerging filmmaker in South Florida. My last project A Sick Mind won the Jury Award for Best Picture at the FilmGate Festival in Miami.

My entire life, I've drawn from a well of amazing movies that have had an impact on me. It is my dream to be able to put something back into that well and create a film that will be remembered long after I'm gone.

The next project I'll be tackling is a short film based on the life of Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. In the late 60s to early 70s a serial killer named Dean Corll lured many Houston boys to their deaths aided by his teenage accomplice, the aforementioned Wayne.

This film is about Wayne's story, about the crushing weight of being involved in such a horrific crime and the fear that keeps him perpetuating it. The goal with this project is to film a 7-page snapshot of this much larger story with the intention of screening it at film festivals and securing funding to be able to create a mini-series about this tragic event.

The zeitgeist around serial killers is at an all-time high. Netflix is putting major resources towards their Monster series and Peacock just released a series about John Wayne Gacy, another infamous murderer. I have a small window to be able to capitalize on this and tell this story. Your donation to help make this short film is the first step to actualizing this vision.

Your money will go towards food, paying the cast, and procuring props. Any donation is highly appreciated.
