I'll Be Your Buddy - A Documentary Film

Donation protected
We, Elizabeth Ray & Thomas Yee, are extremely excited to bring you the I'll Be Your Buddy Campaign Trailer.

This GoFundMe is for an independent documentary film about the life of Otto Emmelhainz of Campbell County, Kentucky, from the perspective of his granddaughter (Elizabeth Ray) who never knew him in life.

We highly encourage you to watch the video as it is the keystone of our GoFundMe campaign, everything you need to know is in there, but here are some quick highlights on paper:

  • After an extremely successful round of in-person interviews in the fall of 2023, we are looking for funding for travel expenses to get even more people in front of the camera and in the documentary.
  • Equipment reimbursement and purchasing of additional equipment to make the film as professional and high quality as possible.
  • Stretch goals of hiring additional additional production personnel, advertising material, and hiring a venue for a live screening of the film in Northern Kentucky/ Cincinnati.

Keep in touch with the project on social media. You can find updates on the dedicated I'll Be Your Buddy social media pages:
