Help me Finish out Film School

My name is Kai Lendzion and I've been at the Ringling College of Art and Design Film program for a fantastic year and a half, working on industry-standard equipment, learning from accomplished faculty and learning so much about cinematography, editing and sound design.

I was able to fund my fall semester by working hard at a summer job, and earning myself grants and scholarships, however I am short on tuition for spring semester.  I would be truly devastated not to be able to return for the rest of the year, so am seeking some help to finish out the year here and am then researching other options and more scholarships for the future.

My dream is to combine my love and talents for film and photography, with my passions for history and social justice. I feel passionate about creating art that can capture and recreate history, bring untold and silenced stories to life, inspire, teach, and motivate others.

Thank you so much for helping to support my education, diversifying the film industry, and hopefully bettering the world!
