Our film, A Thousand Years, is a USC graduate student short film partially funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

About the Sloan Grant: 

The goal of the Alfred P Sloan Foundation Film School program is to influence and encourage the next generation of filmmakers to create more realistic and dramatic stories about science and technology, and to challenge existing stereotypes about scientists and engineers through visual media storytelling. Two production grants are offered each year at USC's School of Cinematic Arts.

 

 

After a disastrous summer in Kitty Hawk testing a new glider, Wilbur and Orville Wright arrive back in their Dayton bicycle shop defeated and ready to give up. Battling the financial weight that comes with running a business, the heavily funded competition and Wilbur’s own lack of faith; the brothers must find a way to persevere before it’s too late and decide whether risking it all is really worth the dream of flight.

 

 

Our total budget is $50,000.00.

A Thousand Years was awarded one of two production grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Although we are partially funded by the grant, creating a historically accurate period piece is ambitious and expensive. The majority of our budget will go toward locations, production design, costumes, and feeding our top-notch crew for 10 days of filming.

 

 

 

A Note from the Director: In a world where innovation is being overridden by corporations, this true underdog story (that's never been told!) is more relevant than it ever has been. Having this powerful piece of history dramatized and help inspire the next generation of pioneers by showing them that normal folks, with human flaws, doubts, tempers and very little resources, can change the world with just a bit of belief and dedication.

 

A Note From Our Team: We want to express how grateful we are for your support - we can't do this without you! No pledge is too small - every dollar makes a difference in making our film possible. Please share our campaign via social media, email, and word of mouth. Thank you!
