Hi Everyone! My name is Markus Shatto and I am 11 years old (turning 12 in June) and going into 6th grade in the fall. I recently graduated from Barbizon’s school for acting and modeling. I was watching Stranger Things one night and thought I could be an actor just like the kids on the show. I love to make movies with friends and film them on my phone. My dream is to be an actor on a show like Stranger Things. I also want my Dad to be proud of me in heaven.

So the reason for this fundraiser is I was chosen to attend Passport to Discovery in Orlando, Florida this August 2023. It’s an exclusive annual event that you have to audition for and I was chosen to attend. At this event there will be casting agents from all over the country who come to find new talent. This could be my chance to sign an acting contract. It’s a very expensive trip though and I want to help my Mom pay for it. I would be so thankful for any donation big or small to help me attempt this event. Thank you so much!
