Hi I'm Michael,
I was born with a serious heart condition called Hypo-Plastic Left Heart Syndrome, where I only have half of a funtioning heart. I've never really been able to play sports or run around without getting very winded and tired. Lucky for me, I am an actor. I enjoy it so much it makes me forget about my disability. My dream is to become a professional actor. Since 3rd grade I have been playing roles in my school plays. This past year I was Corney Collins in the play "Hairspray Junior". I recently decided I wanted to attend the New York City Film Academy 3 week summer camp this July, where I will be introduced to lights, cameras, and real acting opportunities.
My learning goal from attending this camp is to fine-tune my acting skills, build a portfolio that I will be able to use for future auditions, and to explore the possiblites of becoming a professional actor.
Unfortunately, I am unable to pay for this camp including all the food/room and board expenses. This is why I am asking for your help! Even a $10.00 donation can help me get that much closer to achieving my dream.
