Help a Cornell Senior Tell LatinX Stories

Hi everyone! My name is Isabela Perez, and I am a senior at Cornell University studying English and Film. Storytelling is my passion and this semester I will be making a short film dealing with themes of Family, LatinX stories, and immigration. Funding will go towards location, props, set dressing, costumes, etc. Anything you can do to help is more than appreciated! Thank you!

Logline: When a mysterious man arrives at a celebration for New Years, Carla, a young, apprehensive woman, finds out if her fresh start will be marked by a wonderful hope or an agonizing despair.

Synopsis: Sitting alone at a New Year's Eve celebration, Carla is shocked at the sudden arrival of a mysterious figure named Marcelo, a man who seems set on avoiding her. This leads Carla to brave the colorful guests of the party, that she herself has been evading, to be able to reach him, testing her courage and persistence. Finally able to confront the man, Marcelo must reveal the news he knew would break her heart, leaving Carla to decide if her New Year will continue with this despair or if she will have the bravery to change it for herself.
