Hi everyone!

We are a group of young, creative minds with a deep passion for storytelling whose paths originally crossed at Rider University during our Senior Thesis filmmaking course.

Now, as most of us have now entered our post-grad lives and continue to be involved in the world of filmmaking in one way or another, we are continuing to raise funds to help support our journey as we start entering the finished cut to film festivals nationwide. All donations will go directly to funding our film festival journey.

"Dear Vivian" explores the complex relationship between 20-year-old piano prodigy Vivian Briar (Ava Hojnowski) and a manifestation of her recently deceased mother, Evelyn (Janelle Tedesco). When tasked to play a difficult piano piece at her mother's funeral, Vivian must confront her true feelings toward her mom before they consume her. The story as a whole deals with themes of grief, abuse, and familial pressure.

Additional cast includes: Callum (Kelly Menjivar)
