It takes money to make movie magic, and we must raise all funds in order to make our film a reality. As students, and emerging artists, we depend on the generosity of people like yourself to see our film through to completion. Your support is not just an investment in the next generation of filmmakers, it is an investment in the diversity of stories seen in the media.
