Hello everyone
I am currently fundraising for my short film SHIMASANI, which was shot back in
June. I currently have a rough cut, but the post production is stalled because
of lack of funds. Currently I’m trying to raise $5,000 to get the ball
rolling at least.
The film is based on one of my grandmothers experiences when she was in her
teens back in the early part of the 20th century. The film is entirely in
Navajo, has fantastic performances and is beautifully shot.
If you go to the link below i’ve opened a fundraising account on fundable.
Any help (cash) you could donate would much appreciated.

Here is a trailer of the film ::
Here is the synopsis.
In the late 1920’s on the Navajo Reservation, teenage Mary Jane spends her
time daydreaming while tending to her flock of sheep and working with her Masani
(maternal grandmother). One day her older sister Anna Mae runs away from
boarding school and brings home with her a book of World Geography that shows
Mary Jane an entirely new world that is “just over the mountain”. In the end
she must decide whether to maintain her traditional life with her grandmother or
go out into the larger world.
Hope you are all healthy and well.
thank you
