Why give?

Filmmaking is a powerful art form, but it comes with significant costs. From equipment and locations to cast and crew, every project requires a substantial investment to bring the vision to life. As a dedicated film student, I am committed to funding my films out of pocket, but I can only do so much with limited resources. That’s where your support can make a difference.

When you contribute to my films, you’re not just helping to cover expenses, you’re investing in the future of independent filmmaking. To show my commitment, I promise to match every donation at a minimum, with luminated I more than doubled each donation. Your support allows me to tell compelling stories, refine my craft, and bring fresh, creative ideas to the screen. Together, we can create films that inspire, entertain, and make a lasting impression.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps turn dreams into reality, even if you cannot support through a monetary donation there are so many more ways to help, reach out below if you are interested in other ways to support me. Thank you for being part of the journey!
