<div>Dear friends, family and Indie film fans everywhere,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After six years of development, it’s time to make the full-length feature film YO ANDREA.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>YO ANDREA tells a story of second chances, of courage and the risks we take for love. Our two short film “teasers,” directed by my buddy Brian Russell, have won festivals all around the country. And my full-length script won the Miami Screenplay Awards in October. It has been the pleasure of my life to create this story.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This campaign will help us raise the pre-production money to set up the business of this film. I would like to use my actor friends. And I’d like to shoot this in my home state of Connecticut. I do not want to sell it to Hollywood first.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When YO ANDREA is complete, we are very confident you will say your donation was worth it.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I took notes of what people said after our five public readings, and after they viewed our two short film teasers. Here’s a few thoughts:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>“I’ve watched it four times in a row and I’m positively swooning.”</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>“Bravo! Beautiful, human and deeply moving. Like a great poem. It deserves any and all accolades that come its way.”</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>“You can’t let it end there.”</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’ve got a cast and a crew that is ready to commit. Please help to make this movie and get it to the big screen. Every donation will help. There’s a long list of films that started out with just a little bit of money but told us stories so compelling that we never forgot them.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I think this is YO ANDREA’s destiny.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s not let it end here.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please donate and share this campaign with your friends.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made to your GoFundMe.</em>
