The Impact
Our film is like no other, we have very talented members who can make the restaurant a visual and narrative masterpiece. It is only with your help, we will be able to pull this off.
The director, Delan, has made a successful short film in his past, with nearly no funding. But now with this platform and passionate advocators, the potential is limitless!
Our hope is to make this film popular amongst everybody, since it a story almost everyone can relate to.
Risks & Challenges
A challenge with making this film is having a large amount of background actors at once. As the New American Film School at ASU states, we must feed our cast and crew a hot meal during a 6 hour shoot.
One risk we face is having many people on set. Which increases probability of accidents and mishaps. However we do plan on having a large crew to able to take care of any problems that arise.
