Helping a film student bring a personal story about depression and grief to the screen
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a project that a coworker of mine is working on in hopes of helping him reach people outside of our workplace.
Jason is a Theater Acting and Film Production student at Brooklyn College, and he's raising funds to produce his thesis film. The story explores depression and grief, drawing on personal experiences, with the goal of raising awareness and encouraging conversations about suicide prevention.
The funds will help cover production expenses like equipment rentals, cast compensation, filming locations, props, and catering.
I know independent filmmaking can be a challenge, especially for students trying to bring a meaningful story to life. I wanted to help spread the word beyond the people who already know Jason and give this project a chance to reach a wider audience.
If you're interested in learning more about the project, here's his GoFundMe:

Donations of any amount are appreciated, but even sharing the fundraiser with someone who might be interested would help. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
