With technology advancing at a rapid pace, the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices is changing the way young people define themselves, as well as the way we communicate with each other.

Such is the case for Tre, a social media celebrity, famous for fusing 90s hip-hop culture and fashion with contemporary culture. When Tre’s best friend Quintin, forces Tre to attend a house party as opposed to a club event, Tre is reluctant to attend the gathering fearing it will dampen his reputation. Enter Kim, Quintin’s Tinder date, who also happens to be Tre’s childhood crush. As Kim and Tre reunite, a jealous Quintin paints Tre as a superficial social media celebrity by exposing Tre’s several current girlfriends.  Shocked, Kim has to come to terms with the fact that Tre is definitely not the guy she used to shoot hoops with.

We’ve been fortunate enough to receive a few grants towards the production of “Poop Emoji”, however still need UR help to make our film the best it can possibly be!

As student filmmakers, in most cases we are ineligible for government funding and have little access to other methods of funding.  Also, our school does not provide us with direct funding to produce the film, which is why we are looking to YOU!

ENTER Crowdfunding --  a way of fundraising through the joint effort of REAL people as investors. You become apart of a genuine community of REAL people supporting a REAL project.  Platforms like Indiegogo allow us to transform our Artistic vision into a REALITY. As a contributor to our project, you become a very important part of us bringing the film to life!
