Student Film: Fake It Till' You Make It

Donation protected
Fake It Till’ We Make It, a film by ORU students for the 2024 ORU Student Film Gala.

Filming Dates: February 15th to 17th.

Film Summary:
A determined hustler in Yonkers, Ronny, aims to score tickets to Lil’ Tobi’s concert, propelling him into chaotic shenanigans and desperate side hustles. From failed ventures like taste-testing old food & breaking in furniture, Ronny receives some homeless wisdom. Inspired, Ronny combines his hustles and love of shoe-game to fulfill his concert dreams until his failed hustle comes back to bite him.

About Our Film:
Fake It Till’ We Make It is a comedy short film visually inspired by Spike Lee’s Film, Do The Right Thing (1989), and 90s fashion.

Given the incredible opportunity to bring to life this exceptional script crafted by my dear friend, Edwin Rosa, I'm excited to turn its pages into reality and share the delight it brought me. It's a wonderful chance to exhibit Tulsa in its full splendor and showcase a part of our sneakerhead community!

The Team!
As Seniors at ORU, we were blessed with opportunities to produce and create films. It’s the first time in the ORU Film Program, The Media Mastery Institute, that Juniors and Senior can collaborate to create multiple films for our 2024 ORU Student Film Gala. Not only are we able to share our films to the public for free but also have the incredible opportunity to utilize local actors. Find out more about our team on our Instagram @ OruFilmLife

About Me!
My name is Natasha Perez, a senior MMI student at ORU. This will be my second film as a director. I won Best Art Director for the 2023 Oru Film Gala & won Best Student Film at the 168 Film Festival with the rest of my senior crew. I am excited to direct and share this film with everyone! I have been saving up for this amazing venture. Whether we reach our goal or not, the rest of the funding will come from my pocket and will receive only 15% from the University besides the basic equipment.



Thank you to everyone who’s willing to donate during & after the holidays. Every bit helps and I will put all the money to good use such as equipment, props, wardrobe & craft services for our Actors and student crew. Once again, Thank you all for your support!
