We recognize how vital it is to give the outside world a first-hand look at our personal experiences regarding organ transplantation and how it affects everyday life; the good, the bad, & the ugly. It all begins with this documentary...

We are building a brand that represents unity and most importantly, a promise to give others a second chance at life, through spreading awareness on the importance of organ donation.

OUR STORY

Jared & I are brothers, born 3 years apart, exactly to the day, yet our birthday isn't the only fascinating connection between to the two of us. You see, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, primarily affecting my liver, just over a decade ago. Although my family and I have faced much hardship over the years, things took an unfortunate turn this past August when my doctors explained that they had spotted a tumor on my liver and my disease had been consistently progressing. A liver transplant has now become vital in order for me to continue my life. Due to the high demand of organs regardless of my critical state, I am no where near the top of the list. When doctors posed the idea of undergoing a living-donor transplant (where someone donates 40-60% of their liver, having both the donor & recipient's liver regenerate to full size) my older brother, Jared, jumped at the opportunity. As fate would have it, he was approved and we are set to undergo the transplant operation this upcoming February.   -- Cameron


WHAT WE'RE DOING & WHY

Currently, on average 18 people die every day while awaiting an organ transplant and every 10 minutes another person is added to the waiting list. - (organdonor.gov)

We believe that these numbers are inexcusable and we're doing everything in our power to change that. It all begins with our documentary. So how are we going to do this? It's simple. We are going to film a raw, real-life depiction of what it has been like for us and our family during this time of adversity, just as it is for the nearly 78,000 other active transplant candidates.

This documentary is the first step in introducing our brand "The Wave Set", thus educating the world that we truly are vital to each other. 


HOW YOU CAN HELP

In order to facilitate a world-wide movement and save the many lives that need our help, everyone needs to pitch in. With your pledge, we can turn this concept into a reality and the documentary will be just the beginning. Simply put, we cannot afford all of these expenses...

Here is a breakdown of our costs:
  1. Pre-Production: $3,000
  2. Production: $10,400
  3. Post-Production: $6,500
  4. Emergency/Miscellaneous Fund (just in case): $2,000
  5. IndieGogo/3rd Party Credit Card Fees: $2,100
  6. Overhead: $6000
We are using this documentary to shed light on the importance of organ donation and demand for donors, while eliminating the fallacies with becoming a donor. Once the documentary is filmed, we are then going to continue to spread awareness through the following ways:
  1. Spend countless hours pitching the film to network television, film festivals, & the general public.
  2. Perform speaking engagements.
  3. Plan and put together live events w/ musical acts & other entertainment.
  4. Launch our full line of "The Wave Set" apparel.
We understand the importance of taking a grassroots approach in getting our peers to become organ donors and are willing to do everything in our power to do so. Bottom line, you're pledge will help us make this a reality.
