Hi everyone! My name is Niamh Corsten, and I am currently working on a short film as part of my college coursework. This is my Final Major Project of year 13 and goes 50% towards my grade, and it’s an opportunity for me to develop my filmmaking skills, build a professional-quality portfolio piece, and collaborate with other passionate student creatives.

As a student production, we don’t have access to large budgets or studio resources. That’s why your support means so much. Every contribution—no matter the size—helps bring this story to life and allows us to create something meaningful, polished, and representative of the hard work we’re putting into it.

About the Film I am Making:

Title: "Why can't I Belong" - A Short Film about the use of Artificial Intelligence.

All funds raised will go directly toward essential production expenses, including:

Props, Costumes & Set Materials

Items that help bring the story’s world to life and make the film visually engaging.

Transportation & Location Costs

Travel for cast/crew, location permits, and any fees associated with filming spaces.

Cast & Crew Meals

Keeping everyone fed and energized during long shooting days—an absolute must for smooth production!

This film is not only a requirement for my course but it’s a chance for me to tell a story I care deeply about, gain hands-on experience, and take meaningful steps toward a future career in filmmaking. Your support helps make professional-level creative work possible for students like me who are still learning and growing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and consider supporting this project. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this GoFundMe means the world. I’m excited to create something special and share the finished film with everyone who helped make it possible!
