After twenty-two years, Avi receives a call she never expected. Independent, well-loved by her friends, and making her way through a man's world, Avi must now face the choice - rekindle the relationship with her father or close the door and move on forever.
Through various sources, we have already raised over $2000 to help begin production on this film. This has gone a long way towards getting the material we need for production.
However; making a film is a long road that doesn't end when we pack up the camera. Once we finish photography, we will enter into another long and difficult process; the terrifying world of editing and visual effects. To finish this film, we need another $5000 to go towards essential production and post-production costs. This is why we need your help!
Funds will go directly towards:
