On the first anniversary of her grandmother's death, a young woman reflects on the relationship she shared with her grandmother, and the ghostly experience that made her realize she never truly lost her. 

Before I Go is a touching short film about family, forgiveness, and understanding that spans three generations of women. Our main character, Julia, reflects on her experience coping with her grandmother Tita's death one year prior, and how loss can bring people together.   

Before I Go is written and directed by Arantxa Duran Mendez, a master's student at Emerson College. ​Contributions to this campaign would mean the world to the production team on Before I Go. Each and every person working on the film feels a connection to the family-centric story Arantxa is bringing to life. 

 

Making a film is hard work! The production crew on Before I go is aiming to raise $4,500 to bring this piece to life. The funds from this campaign will go towards equipment, food, locations, transportation, cast, distribution, editing, and production design. 

Equipment-
We will be shooting with a wide range of professional equipment, which can get pretty expensive. Any amount donated will help us shoot with the most up-to-date, professional equipment we can find to make this film look and sound perfect.  

Food-
During our shoot, we will be feeding our crew breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our priority is to keep them fed, hydrated, and happy during our long days. Our crew and actors will be provided with ample snacks and hot meals to keep them productive and healthy for the duration of the shoot. 

Locations-
The locations for Before I Go range from a beautiful beach to a lovely house. We need funds to lock down these locations, and pay for the permits to shoot our film in these locations. 

Transportation-
Since these locations are all over the city of Boston, we will need money to safely transport our cast, crew, equipment, props, and more. 

Cast- 
The production crew on Before I Go wants to pay our talented actors for the great job they are going to do during our long shoot. 

Contingency- 
Our team wants to be prepared for any unforeseen expenses in case anything goes off course during shooting. Hopefully, nothing big will go wrong, but one can never be too prepared!  

Distribution-
We will be submitting Before I Go to multiple film festivals. Submitting can get expensive, and we need your help to cover the cost!

Editing/Post Production-
Post-production includes all stages of production occurring after shooting. That includes sound design, color correction, music scores, and more. We will be hiring a professional composer to score Before I Go with amazing, original music.  

Production Design- 
Our production design/art direction will be deeply personal and sentimental to fit the feeling of the film. Our art team is working really hard to create the world of the characters with delicate set dressing and costume design. 

Creating a film is hard work! There are countless risks involved, and the production team on Before I Go is dedicated to making sure the final product is perfect. The donations that come from this campaign are a way we are going to ensure the challenges we face during production are overcame.
