Short Film Fundraising Campaign

Hello! My name is Jasmin Prophete, and I've started this campaign to fund my first short film, Leo Lets It Rain!

What It's About: Leo, a queer Black man with undiagnosed ADHD, is on his way to win back his ex-girlfriend when his plans are thwarted by a storm, forcing him to reevaluate.

Screenplay Awards Won: The script was a Winner at Out On Film, a Finalist at Nashville Fim Festival, and an Official Selection at New York Lift-Off Film Festival.

What The Project Means To Me: This script is inspired by my own experience living with ADHD before I was diagnosed. As a screenwriter, I have never had the opportunity to see what my work looks like when it's produced, which I consider crucial to my development as an artist. This film represents an opportunity for me to change that, in addition to being a calling card I'll be able to use to further my career.

Why It's Important: Because most research on ADHD is conducted on young white boys, it is often missed in both POC and people assigned female at birth. I want to tell this story to spread awareness to the mental health struggles that often go unnoticed among people within this demographic.

How Funds Will Be Used: Paying for location and equipment rentals, as well as compensating our cast and crew.

Where The Project Stands Now: We are set to film over Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-27.
