Help Shelli Direct Her First Short Film

Hello Family and Friends!

As you know, I have been coaching actors, running a theater, and directing plays for some years... but now I am ready to try my hand at directing a MOVIE!!!

I have gathered a team of cast and crew, and I will be directing my FIRST SHORT FILM next weekend as part of the 48 HOUR FILM COMPETITION here in Los Angeles.

You heard that right - we are writing, shooting, editing, and delivering a short film all in 48 hours! I know it sounds crazy, but we are up for the challenge. And I'm producing and directing the whole thing!

Although the weekend will go by fast (August 1st - 3rd), it won't be cheap. We need money for equipment rentals, cameras, set design, costumes, catering, gas, and stipends for the cast and crew. And we need it fast since we will be starting next Friday.

I will not be personally getting paid or making any money from this project, so I really need and would appreciate your help to supplement some of these costs since it's all on me. I thought I would be able to handle a lot of it, but things add up quickly... whew! Just being honest!

No amount is too small (or too big, lol) and I would be so grateful if you could contribute to my next goal and dream of being a movie director!

All the Blessings,

Shelli B.
