<div>About Me &amp; Why I’m Raising Funds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Damion “Eliyahu” Rochester — an actor, filmmaker, and creative committed to shifting the narrative of Black Hebrew identity, fatherhood, and faith through the art of cinema.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m raising funds to complete and release my short film On or Before Two Weeks, now in its final stage of post-production. This story shines a light on Black Hebrew families — their love, kindness, pain, and healing — perspectives rarely seen on screen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About the Film
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On or Before Two Weeks follows a devoted Hebrew father and husband whose life changes when artificial intelligence replaces his marketing team — only for that same technology to later save his wife’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As he learns to balance his wife’s recovery, the weight of fatherhood, and the need to keep his family whole, he’s also guiding:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>a teenage daughter learning independence and love, and
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>a son struggling with confidence after barely making the soccer team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This story explores faith, family, and modern technology through a deeply spiritual lens — showing how Elohim's presence remains constant, even when life tests our strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ Why It Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We rarely see stories of Black Hebrew families portrayed with tenderness and authenticity — where love, faith, and divine resilience take center stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This film is a love letter to families who choose faith over fear, and to fathers who carry light in dark times. It’s about real healing, unity, and the beauty of our covenant with the Most High expressed through modern storytelling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How the Funds Will Be Used

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join the Journey
</div>
<div>On or Before Two Weeks is more than a film — it’s a divine reflection of love, legacy, and faith in motion. With your help, we can complete this story and share it with the world — showing the beauty of our families as Yah intended: powerful, purposeful, and full of compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s bring representation, healing, and light to the screen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps — and every supporter becomes part of this mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in this vision,
</div>
