Hello all!
My name is Maya Janae Chaffin and I am a graduating senior majoring in television and film at Howard University. This semester, I have the opportunity to direct a short film I've written titled Mary & Martha for my senior thesis project.
This modern adaptation of the Biblical story features a driven, overworked woman preparing her home for a highly renowned guest. Little does she know, her plans will be interrupted by the unexpected arrival of her spontaneous yet Spirit-led, younger sister - forcing her to explore what truly matters in her relationship with God.
As an older sister myself and someone who struggles to be content in stillness, this story means a lot to me. My prayer is that others will see this film and know that they don't need to earn their faith through works - God loves them just the way they are.
All of the money that is fundraised will assist with:
- Locations
- Production Equipment
- Wardrobe
- Set Design
- Props
- Transportation
- Insurance
- Marketing
- Film Festivals
- Craft Services
Please consider donating to help bring this film to life and bring the gospel to Howard University's campus through the media! Anything helps, even sharing to spread the word.
Thank you in advance for any contributions!
