Help us raise funds for "HELLO USA!" a student senior thesis

Hi Everyone! My name is Ren Cinema, and I am a former film student at UArts, which unfortunately shut down. I’m currently a senior at Drexel University, studying Film and Television with a minor in Animation. This year, I, along with other talented crew members, have the opportunity to create my senior thesis film, Hello USA: We The People Gotta Get A Crib. To produce this project to the best of our ability, we humbly ask for your help in reaching our goal of $2000!

What is this project about?

Hello USA: We The People Gotta Get A Crib is an experimental visual album that presents an interpretation of a “Homecoming Marching Band Performance.” It aims to visually represent the internal conflict that African Americans face when attempting to find home and belonging in a society that often rejects them.

Through watching this film, you are encouraged to ask the questions: Where do we find a sense of community if we can't see it in front of us? What areas do we search? What ideologies seep into our psyche? This is a visually messy journey to explore these questions.

It would mean a lot to us if you supported our ventures into filmmaking and helped us bring this vision to life. Thank you for your time and follow us on Instagram @hell0usa to stay updated on our progress!
