Overview
Sexual abuse is a silent epidemic that takes place throughout the United States and the world, creating social havoc for the children, adult survivors, and society. Being educated on this highly prominent issue is the first step to ending child sex trafficking. The more we open our eyes to what's happening "RIGHT HERE", the sooner we can stop it. AIMEE will be a social awareness film that brings to light this delicate issue in an innovative and captivating storyline directed by Lee Whittaker.

Raising Awareness

Aimee short film will be a social awareness film that will bring to light the silent epidemic of child sex trafficking that happens right here in the United States. We will increase awareness through the power of captivating and insightful storytelling by Director Lee Whittaker who's last social awareness film about homelessness won over 16 International film awards, including the "Film Heals" award. 

         

With your help we can fund this project and together we can save our children from this form of modern slavery. 

Each contribution is a step closer to unveiling this horrendous crime through the power of film. Help us get this message out to the world and together we can #stopchildsextrafficking. 

                                                              

What We Need & What You Get

What we need to get this project started is $10,000. These funds will help pay for equipment rentals, crew, permits to film in Los Angeles, and camera rentals. It costs a lot of money to film in L.A. but we pride ourselves in doing so, for this is where it all started. 

We have contribution perks for every donation and also offering secret perks throughout the campaign! 

If we, for unseen reasons, do not reach our goal we will be funding this ourselves. So we would be gratefully appreciative for all the help we can get. 

 

The Impact

By contributing to AIMEE you will be helping expose the crucial issue of the child sex trafficking epidemic happening right here in the United States. The impact of this film will hopefully drive a movement to change legislation and penalties, increase the awareness, and spark a much needed conversation.  Together we can become more informed human activists in this fight against modern slavery. 

                      

Risks & Challenges

As with anything else there are always certain challenges we face along the way, especially when filming in Los Angeles. Extra expenses come up during shooting, people's schedules conflict, locations don't work out, etc. Despite all of that, the biggest challenge will we face on his particular project is the subject matter itself.

In the United States there are 100,000-300,000 sexually exploited children. Girls as young as 5 years old are known to have been trafficked and sold into child prostitution. The average age of a trafficked victim in the United States is 14 years old. 

 

Nevertheless, with great challenges come great rewards. The biggest payoff being AWARENESS and with that awareness we can help to bring an end to child sex trafficking.
