Hello, I am Michael Rodriguez. One of the Producers of the short film "The Sticker".

We have wrapped filming the project. It was a successful 2 day production July 18-19. We are so appreciative of everyone who helped out and supported our previous fundraiser for the production. It truly helped out with covering location fees.

We are grateful for our amazing cast and crew. And Sabores Oaxiqueños for the lunch!

Now, we are heading towards the next stage: Post-Production and we need your help! We are crowdfunding to help out with the post-production expenses.

This includes the rate for the talented artists who will be working on the Coloring, Sound, Music and Editor who will put it all together.

The Film Festival fees that range between $15-$50 for each submission.

And any extra donations that will help reimburse our producers who donated much of their own money.

THE STICKER

When their father passes away, two siblings, once inseparable, find themselves back in the same home for the first time in years. One has stayed close to family and tradition, while the other has distanced himself, burying the past under work and a new identity. As grief lingers in the air, old wounds surface and we witness the painful rift between family members, rooted in cultural identity, immigration struggles, and unspoken expectations. In the months that follow, a single quiet gesture, a sticker pressed onto a shirt, becomes a symbol of showing up, even when the words are hard to say.

Directors: Cinthya Rey, Emily Roberts

Producers: Michael Rodriguez, Sofia Guadarrama

Director of Photography: Mario E. Crisostomo

Our intention with The Sticker is to illustrate a portrayal of immigrant family life, with all its sacrifices, tensions, and unspoken truths.

If you can’t donate, sharing our campaign would mean the world to us.

We are so proud of our project and we're excited to be sharing it with you all soon!

Thank you all,

The Sticker Team
