Hi! I’m a graduate filmmaker at Loyola Marymount University, one of the top film schools in the country. I’m raising funds to complete my upcoming short film, In the Wild, a poetic and emotional story about a young man who breaks into a house late at night not to steal, but to reconnect with a former mentor after years of pain, addiction, and isolation.

This film explores the mental health and loneliness epidemic that defines much of modern America. With your support, we can bring this vision to life at the highest level, without cutting creative corners or relying on AI. We’ve already invested personal savings and family support, but an additional $3,000 would push us over the top and help us finish strong and festival-ready.

By supporting our campaign, you are believing in young artists who want to tell meaningful, human stories.
