Love Yourself First Independent Short Film Fundraiser

Melfin Pereira is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Hello everyone!

I'm Melfin, a filmmaker, and I have some exciting news to share.

My latest project, "Love Yourself First," has just finished and is already gaining recognition in festivals, earning multiple awards. However, I'm reaching out to you on this GoFundMe page to recoup funds for the film.

This project was entirely self-funded, and now I'm seeking support to cover production costs. If you enjoyed the film or appreciate independent filmmaking, please consider donating here.

Your generosity will not only support this project but also future endeavors, as I fund all my films personally.

"Love Yourself First" follows the story of a young woman in her 20s, closely reflecting my own experiences, who yearns for solitude. She discovers a mysterious card promising to change her life, leading her into an alternate reality fueled by dark magic. As she navigates this world, she ignores crucial warnings and becomes trapped with a demonic entity.

The film explores themes of self-discovery and acceptance, delivering a powerful message about the importance of embracing oneself.

Your contributions will cover production design, transportation, and festival run costs.

Any surplus funds will be allocated to festival submissions and future projects, boosting my career in film if you enjoy my work!. Your kindness is greatly appreciated, and it will help ensure that I can continue making films independently.

(The film is to be released publicly in October 2024 when the festival run is over!)
