Overview
Who am I? My name is Jean Nasser, a 15 years old and a highschooler at iLead Innovation Studios. An amazing school that supports creative ideas like mine, and one of the locations for this project. I am an actor, writer, director, and I am currently in the pre-production of my second short film, Flytrap. Last year, I wrote, directed, and acted in a short film called "Oliver", which got screened at the TCL Chinese Theater on April 2016. A dream come true!

Flytrap

Why the title?

The Venus flytrap is a plant that disguises itself as a normal plant but then when a fly comes in sight, it demolishes it by surprise. So this film is just like that. It is a film that starts off all sugarcoated, and then towards the end, the drama punches you in the face just like the plant does.

With this heartwrenching drama short film I wanted to demonstrates there is no such thing as a perfect life. Everybody has skeletons in their closet. Everybody goes through certain situations in their life. Everybody hurts. But the important thing is to be proud with what you have and who you are and move on no matter what obstacles come in your way. Never wish or try to be somebody else.

I would love to make this project a reality. In order for that to happen, I need your help.

What do we need?

On a film set, we need a lot of things to make this project work. To mention a few:

  • sound equipment: because without good sound, 50% of the film will fall apart.
  • lighting equipment: because with no lighting to film inside shots, everything will be dark and visually, it wouldn't look good.
  • a camera: of course, the most important thing is a camera to compose the shots, because without a camera...there will be NO film. On the short I did last year, I couldn't raise any funds, so I only shot the piece with a tripod and a Samsung Galaxy S6 cell phone, in which I'm recording this video with right now. It was a real challenge, but with hard work, the final results were good. Can't wait to see what the outcome would be if I had a whole crew and equipment. Please help me achieve this goal.
  • a monitor:  to be able to see what the camea is capturing and be able to direct better.
  • Other equipment like a dolly, lenses, a tripod, etc.,
  • we need funds to pay for food to feed the actors and crew.
  • pay the actors, and locations.
  • We need props and wardrobe
  • funds for post-production purposes, editing software
  • resources/funds to submit the final piece to festivals.

Under my sleeve, I have other projects ready to be shot but still in need of funds; a short film, a feature film, a web series, and more.

 

I'm just a teenager with big dreams and with my films, I want to share the way I see life. Help me achieve this goal! I'm counting on you.
