Help Support Filmmaker Gebar Produce Two Short Films

Hey Family! Gebar here. And for those who don't know me, I'm an Eritrean filmmaker based in Los Angeles, CA.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure to visit two countries in East Africa. And with the help with my producer friend, Maha , we wrote, directed, and shot two short films in Addis Ababa and Asmara.

We honestly can't believe we made it this far! It's been an incredibly rewarding and challenging journey. And we're so so grateful for everything that went into bringing the vision to life.

We're nearing the finish line on both projects and are looking to give our projects the finishing touches they deserve in post-production. And we're looking to our community, family and friends to come support two filmmakers who are passionate in telling stories rooted in our cultural upbringing.

If you can, please consider donating to get us closer to our release date!

✨ We appreciate you ✨
