When you begin any journey in creating, armed with nothing but your hands and imagination, you never expect that your small seed of an idea could blossom to involve so much time, energy, people and resources, financial and otherwise.
“11 24” is truly a labor of love, not just from me as director, but from the many friends and once-strangers I have found along the way in this journey of making this little baby of a project of mine a reality, all of whom are generously contributing their time, talents and resources to this endeavor.
In addition, the project has received technical and production support through the Visual Communications Armed With a Camera Fellowship, along with an AWC grant of $500.
But, we still need to raise more than $1500 to reach our budget and recoup the costs of making the film--costs which many times filmmakers have to rely on credit, favors and even pulling some money out of their financial aid to meet.
Along with equipment, paying for gas, catering for shoot days, and other production/post-production costs it takes to make this film, a good portion of this money will go to providing an on set studio teacher for the actress playing Ligaya. And hopefully, if we exceed the minimum amount we are asking for, we can also pay back all the people that made this film possible in some way.
It would also be incredible to use any extra funds raised to build ways to continue community-oriented and culturally meaningful storytelling in Long Beach, CA, especially among youth.
This project has been approved as a SAG Union film via the low budget route. Along with following strict SAG policies that ensures the best interest of all the actors, it is California state law to have a specially credentialed studio teacher on set at all times when using a child actor.
Every dollar and every supporter counts! Please help this labor of love flourish, not only by donating money, but by also spreading the word about the project!
Please help us exceed our minimum fundraising goal of $1500!
We have until April 24, 2011 to reach our fundraising goal on Kickstarter.com, a new way to fund and follow creative projects that offers donors incentives for their contribution. Filmmakers set a minimum fundraising goal, and we only receive the funds if we reach that goal.
NOTE: You're credit card will not be charged until after the fundraising campaign is over on APRIL 24, 2011 and only if we reach our goal. But we will reach our goal!
