<div>Help Us Create “Disconnected” – A Short Film Highlighting the Impact of Technology on Families
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Ronnie Griffin
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We live in an age of constant connection, yet it’s more apparent than ever that our digital lives often leave us disconnected from what truly matters – our families and loved ones. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I’m raising £1500 to produce a short film called “Disconnected”, which tells the story of a little girl who longs for her mother’s attention but finds herself competing against the ever-present glow of a phone screen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Film’s Message: "Disconnected" is more than just a film; it’s a reflection of a growing, poignant reality. It follows 9-year-old Lily, a young girl who wanders through her days searching for warmth, laughter, and the joy of spending time with her mother. However, like many families today, Lily’s mother is caught up in the digital world – scrolling through social media, distracted by messages, and unaware of the precious moments slipping by. The film captures Lily’s quiet yearning for love and togetherness and her heart-breaking struggle to bridge the emotional gap caused by technology.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Film Matters: In a world where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, it’s easy to become absorbed in the online world, sometimes forgetting the people sitting right next to us. This film is an opportunity to tell a universal story – one that many of us can relate to, whether as parents, children, siblings, or friends. By capturing the emotional distance that technology can create, we aim to remind viewers of the beauty and importance of genuine, undistracted human connection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Disconnected" seeks to shed light on a truth that can be easy to overlook – that children, like Lily, need more than just a roof over their heads or food on the table. They need love, attention, and quality time to feel valued and seen. They need to play games, share stories, and have open, face-to-face conversations. In our modern lives, these simple things are often overshadowed by screens, notifications, and endless scrolling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Power of Your Support: Creating this film means more than just producing another piece of entertainment; it means starting a conversation. With your support, "Disconnected" will:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Raise Awareness: The film’s poignant storytelling and raw emotion will encourage families to reflect on their own relationships and ask themselves how they can be more present in each other’s lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Inspire Change: By capturing the beautiful moments when Lily’s mother finally realizes the impact of her distraction, we hope to inspire viewers to cherish the small moments with their own families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Connect Communities: At its core, "Disconnected" is about bridging the gap between people. Your support will help this film reach audiences who may need a gentle reminder to put their phones down and look into the eyes of the people who love them.
</div>
<div>How Your Donation Will Help: Raising £1500 will cover the essential costs of producing this short film, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money raised will be used towards the cost of the film and productions including.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casting &amp; Acting Talent: Ensuring we bring to life the emotional performances that will touch audiences' hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Filming &amp; Equipment: Providing the necessary resources to capture the best visuals, sound, and quality for a powerful viewing experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Editing &amp; Post-Production: Crafting the film’s narrative and enhancing its emotional beats through careful editing, color grading, and music.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to making "Disconnected" a reality. Your donation not only helps fund the film but also helps spread an important message about the need for meaningful human connections in our increasingly digital world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join Us in Making a Difference: We often forget that the greatest gift we can give is our time – undivided, genuine time spent together. “Disconnected” aims to remind us of all that while technology can be a powerful tool, it should never replace the warmth of a touch, a smile, or the joy of shared laughter. By helping us create this film, you’re helping us tell a story that will resonate with families everywhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How This Helps the Film:</strong>
</div>
<div>Each donation, whether it’s £1 , plays a crucial role in bringing "Disconnected" to life.
</div>
<div>We want to create something beautiful together – a film that will touch hearts and inspire families to reconnect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s come together to create a film that will remind us to disconnect from our screens and reconnect with our loved ones. Thank you for being a part of this journey, and for helping us bring "Disconnected" to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.

<div>With heartfelt thanks,
