My name is Meredith Bateman. I am a graduate student filmmaker at UNCW and I am raising money for my graduate thesis film entitled You Know How to Reach Me. This film is dedicated to my Poppy who passed away last December, and in efforts to both honor his life and share his story, I am creating an experimental short film for him. With other student filmmakers, creatives, and an incredibly talented cast we will be filming January 3rd-7th, 2026. I am hoping this GoFundMe will support the expenses of production, food, necessary props and equipment, etc. If you are able and willing to donate, I'd greatly appreciate all the help I can get. I am excited to bring this vision and story to life.
