Who and Why

Hi again everyone! Mallory here. I am taking yet another film class this semester and I need YOUR help! 

I am raising funds for a camera and supplies.

I have a passion for film (I have a minor in Film Studies) but I am still learning how to create film as well as study it. I am required to make 2 films in my film class this semester, Coming of Age Stories. I am the black sheep of the class- one of only 2 theater students, and the only non-filmmaker. Consider me the underdog of the class. This being said, I am cameraless and would like to attain the proper equipment to show myself, you, the world, and my class exactly what I am capable of and to make my visions a reality on the big screen.

BUT in order to do this, I need the technology to create and share something that I am proud of and confident in sharing. One of the films we make will be shown at the end of the year week long film festival open to the entire school. So, I really want to make something of good quality and content.  

You might be asking, "Why doesn't your expensive school provide that?" 

Well, the camera and supplies, I am looking to get will allow me to both film and shoot light and pixelation animation (pixelation was the method of Dylan Saves Paris.) Because I am not a Film School student or a Photography student I don't have access to the rental equipment some of which they don't have at all the rest is difficult to attain and sub par.

What I Need 

-Nikon D3100, currently listed at $450. 

-Remote camera shutter cable (this cable allows to jam the shutter to create light animation) currently listed at $35

-Tripod (so people don't get motion sick when watching my films) currently listed at $40

Total amount needed: $525

The extra $25 is to account for what PayPal and indiegogo take out as well as any necessary shipping cost. 

WHAT YOU GET:


$5 donation: a public Facebook thanks

$10 donation: above plus Film Recommendations of any genre of your choosing

$20 donation: above plus a copy of 1 of the films

$50 donation: above plus a copy of both films and 2 tickets to the play I am managing, Fuente Ovejuna, at REDcat in downtown LA the last weekend of May

$100 donation: above PLUS you can schedule with me a tutorial in which i will show you how to make a pixelation and/or light animation. We can even create something TOGETHER! 

The Impact

My film class is called Coming of Age Stories. The films I will make will have a definite view/perspective on topics like the female body, gender norms, ethics, loss, society and emotions that come with being female and young. If I make at least one person think and I mean REALLY think about these topics and issues then my mission will have been successful. YOU will have helped make this happen. YOU will have helped make someone think, understand, and learn.  

Other Ways You Can Help
