Help Fund Nicholas Ferreri's Senior Thesis Film: A New Era

Oh… Hello there. My name is Nicholas Ferreri, a Filmmaking major at Hofstra University. As my undergraduate journey at Hofstra is coming to a close it is time to start production on my senior thesis film “A NEW ERA”. This story is the culmination of my education at Hofstra as well as a showcase of the skills I’ve learned throughout the years. This story has also been near and dear to me for a while now, and has helped me find hope in some of my darkest times.

The Story:

In a world where civilization has crumbled, two unlikely allies collide. Max, a dorky survivalist with a heart of gold, and April, a fiery rebel with a haunted past, embark on a dangerous journey across the wasteland. As their stories unfold, the secrets of their lives might just hold the key to rebuilding a brighter tomorrow.

Why We Need You:

Every great adventure starts with a call to action, and this is ours. To bring this cinematic journey to life, we need YOUR HELP! Your contributions will make you a part of this epic tale, helping us fund:

Casting and Talent: Finding the perfect Max and April to bring our characters to life.

Production Costs: Covering locations, costumes, and props to craft an immersive post-apocalyptic world.

Special Effects & Stunt Work: Bringing high-energy sequences and stunning visuals to the screen.

Soundtrack & Post-Production: Ensuring every scene hits the emotional and thrilling beats we’re aiming for.

Festival Run: We hope to keep the message of this film going for a while, which means we hope to submit this to many festivals! Unfortunately this involves submission fees.

Why support this project?

Our film is more than just a post-apocalyptic adventure, it is a story about resilience, loss, and the power of second chances. With your help, we can inspire audiences to find hope even when the odds seem stacked against them.
