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.
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.
A showreel version of the 3 safe technology films has been produced to aid teachers when showing the films in the classroom.
The 3 films will be used as a teachers learning resource for schools in Seychelles.
We’d also like to add a big thank you to all who were involved in the making of these films. Especially the kids who we felt worked very well and enjoyed the experience.
The films produced will also be used as a larger learning resource to be rolled out to schools by the Seychelles National Council for Children. The 3 adverts will also be screened twice a night on the SBC channel.
Seychelles Safe Technology Group have commissioned this series of short informercials to be screened on TV to raise young peoples awareness to some of the dangers on the internet.
We are so pleased to have met and spent time with all the Jah Bless Crew… big up to you all…
There is so much music talent here in Seychelles waiting to explode onto the international scene,, and i think Jah Bless Crew maybe the first to make it big outside the islands..
The music video we have shot for them may help to progress their talents a few more steps up the ladder towards an international audience.. we hope they make it - big style
