This World of Mine
East Hollywood High School is proud to announce our latest project, This World of Mine! This film is extra special to us, not only because it's our first sci-fi noir, but because it's our most daring project yet.
- This film tells the story of Barbara, a reporter for her school's news paper who wants only to make it as a writer. When she's assigned to a story about Clark, the most popular guy in school, she assumes the story's going to be a bore. However, she'll soon discover Clark has a sinister plan that will change her school... and the world.
- East Hollywood High School is a charter school for talented youth. When we produce these films, it's giving these kids the opportunity to gain experience not only working in the fields that they want to get into, but also to gain the experience of responsibility and leadership.
- By donating to this project, you won't just be helping us create a film, you'll also be helping us teach students the lifelong lesson of working together and problem solving, which is taught on a set.
- East Hollywood has a successful history of creating award-winning film projects. You can check some of them out here:
What We Need
- Since the students in this film are essentially a bunch of hipster kids who've watched too many 50's noir films, they have a very unique sense of style. This style will be difficult and expensive to find, and due to that fact, many of our students will be creating the costumes themselves. Fabric and costume is expensive, and so is the elaborate set decorating we'll have to do to replicate the awesomeness of what's on page.
- Your contribution won't leave you empty handed. By donating you will receive one of our many perks! In fact, if you donate $100 or more, you could be responsible for choosing Will McAllister's nickname!
What this project means
- Each of these films could mean the future of each one of these kids. You never know who could make it, and you never know how your contribution could be the push that starts a successful career
- East Hollywood High School's past films have gained recognition from many film festivals, such as the Utah Film Festival, Maverick Movie Awards, LDS Film Festival, and more!
What we're up against
- This is our most ambitious film yet, with set design, costume design, and lighting!
- If we're able to raise enough money, we can afford to put the time and effort we need into each of these challenges.
