Let's push Ifeanyi's films to Festivals Worldwide
Donation protected
These films were produced independently on a low budget with team members I’ve had the pleasure of going to school with (Pepperdine University).
"The stories behind each film comes from a personal place in my life which I hope can inspire those who are alike and unlike me to really look at the way we maneuver through life."
-Ifeanyi Ezieme (Writer/Director)
Both films made their official debuts at the Reel Stories Film Festival at Pepperdine University in February of this year. The response was a success. The films impacted audience members of all backgrounds (cultural, socioeconomic, religious, etc). And I think this was due to the fact that both films are designed around lead characters that at the very core of their existence are simply… human. With the same fears we have, the priorities we keep, and the sacrifices we have to make.
The messages in both films needs to be seen worldwide, and the only way my team and I can do that, is with your help!
We want to get these films into more festivals domestically and internationally, the thing is, festivals aren’t cheap. Our team has created this go fund me page to raise money for festival applications so we can get more eyes on both "Focus" and "Dear Graduates."
Anything helps, it’s your generosity that will continue to foster the success of these two important films!

More about the films!
---------------------------
"Focus" is a short drama that follows a college student who sells his prescription adderall to students to help pay for his schooling. The film touches upon the lifestyle of many college students whose experiences are left in the shadows. We wanted to bring light to those experiences through this film.
AND
"Dear Graduates," a psychological thriller that follows a student battling his internal demons during the middle of his graduation ceremony. Preparing to move onto the "next stage" of life can be very overbearing on the mind. This film puts that conscious weight into a tangible visual experience that might make you re-analyze the way you move forward with your life.
