My name is Banza Pandora J Townsend Tracey. I am a long time actress that was originally asked to direct this movie after performing in the stage play. Somehow I became the casting director, producer, director and sole investor. With a cast and crew of over 30 dedicated talents and a story that must be told this became almost an obsession.
Throughout the initial filming we teamed up with organizations that teach survivors of domestic violence and shared their stories and the dedication and commitment to finish this project became stronger. Not only to finish the original story but to incorporate real life resources help lines and live resources.
Theater and Film have always had a way of reaching the community in ways only art could. We would like to continue to pour into our community. We begun filming Dear Diary, yet want to give this project the platform expertise it deserves. We have some of the best talent in Indianapolis who have given their acting, talents, wardrobe and artistic talents to bring this to life.
In order to do this film, the writers and the talent justice we need to raise money to hire experienced cinematographers, editors and a sound engineer.
In addition to the incredible acting talent, we have an amazing group of musicians who have donated their music to the project.
Our goal is to raise $20,000. As most know this is low for a feature film but I have so much faith in the people involved I plan to match the rest and use it to plan a fund raiser/talent show to help pay the cast. The $20, 000 is for the fund raiser and crew
