I remember having this story told to me over and over again as a child. Feel what its like to
believe again. Wonder, freedom and Liberation is the aim of this short film.
We are
a rag tag group of filmmakers working in the Industry who decided we
can do this. Years and years of experience and expertise give us the
grit and know how to accomplish a beautiful film. Collectively we have
worked every neccessary position in the film Industry.
The money
will go to pay for costumes, food, locations, special effects, visual
effects, make-up, lights and grip equipment, and all the in between
nitty gritty things that make a film come to life.
We are aiming
to shoot in June. It's right around the corner. When making a short film
you have to take adavantage of conditions bigger projects can have by
throwing more money at it. The film takes place in a hot time period and
we need to shoot in heat. Summer. If we miss this window we may have to
push to the next year. As we all know a lot can happen in a year.
Budding diverse filmmakers
have come together for a passion project. People from every department
are giving of their time and creativity because they believe in this
project.
Long ago there were all kinds of tribes and
cultures in Africa. Once such legend tells of a people that could fly.
They were captured and taken over seas, treated poorly and sold into
slavery. The ability to fly was forgotten, by most. On one hot day, with
the help of an old wise slave, the power to fly was remembered, like a
distant dream. And the people could fly again.To see this film completed would be
a dream come true!
Not just myself but other actors and crew members looking to grow in a
very competitive Industry. We have all the elements in place we just
need your help.
We believe this film can travel the world! We believe this film can inspire! We believe this film can fly! And that's all there is to it.
