Welcome everyone!

My name is Stephanie Vasquez. I’m a student filmmaker and the writer/director of my upcoming short film: Like Father, Like Son. Thank you for clicking the link to my campaign. Even if you are unable to donate, your interest in my project is highly appreciated!

About this project:

Synopsis: Like Father, Like Son follows the story of Justin, a 17 year old tormented by the dysfunctional structure that is: his parents. With a mother who’s more invested in her life with her current boyfriend more than the life of her own son, Justin latches onto his father, a man serving time in his state’s prison after letting his kleptomania get the best of him. Trying to understand the motivations of his father, he follows in his footsteps and goes on stealing binges of his own, and that leaves the question, is the son truly like the like the father?

I've aspired to be a writer since I was 4 years old, inspired by my love for animated storytelling. I've created story after story, from fiction, to poetry, and now to screenwriting (which I've discovered to be my favorite form of putting my work out there). Seeing it go from words to the screen is a feeling of pure joy that I can't recreate in any other way.

Justin's story has become very special to me. I've had the idea in my head since my high school days. I had always liked the idea, but I never loved it until I sat down and converted the concept into a screenplay. I had shared what I'd written with one of my friends (the current director of photography) and he fell head over heels for the script. I was shocked that this story was able to resonate with him on such an emotional level and that's when I knew I had bring this script to life.

Why We Need your Help:

Donations are crucial for this film to be the highest quality that it can possibly be. There are so many factors that will require funding. Some of these expenses include acquiring locations (our most costly asset), production design, equipment rentals, providing meals for the crew, costumes, etc. If you don't work in the film world, it's hard to believe that student productions can cost this much, but it's true! Even short films can cost thousands and to avoid cutting down the quality, we need to fundraise!

My team is working very hard to make this project come to life and I want to make their efforts worth something meaningful when this is all said and done. I want them to have the financial resources to do their very best work.

There are a number of different perks that you can choose from. I hope at least one of them is able to grasp your attention. Regardless, even the smallest of donations can go a long way.

Other ways to support us:

If you can't support the project financially, I completely understand. Please if you can share this campaign on social media! The more eyes on this project, the more support it receives! Also, consider following this campaign on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lflsfilm

And Finally, Thank You

To everyone who has followed me on this journey, to everyone who donates, shares this project, to the crew that's working with me and the actors making these characters come to life.

Everyone, thank you!

Stephanie
