Our Crowdfunding Groups
Welcome to the fundraising campaign for the CSUN Senior Thesis Film, El Halcón!
El Halcón is a CSUN thesis film centered around the story of Fern de la Cruz, a tattoo artist and ex-gang member who utilizes his art to go beyond his circumstances as his surroundings threaten to disrupt the world around him.
Our Story
Born and raised in the toughest streets of Los Angeles, Fernando De La Cruz, a tattoo artist and ex-gang member, will do anything to stay out of trouble to bring his immigrant mother back to the United States. Forced to grow up in poverty amidst gang violence, Fern turns to his art to escape from the harsh reality of his upbringing. However, life takes a turn when he crosses paths with his new neighbors, who consist of an abusive father and his sweet 12-year old son, JP.
Let's Make The World A Better Place.
El Halcón is a story about making challenging decisions and pursuing one's true passion amidst all the physical and mental barriers life throws along the way. Fern De La Cruz is just like any other broken soul, wanting to be healed from his traumatic past to become the best version of himself for the people he loves the most.
This story sheds light on many grounding topics, like immigration, gang violence, abuse, racism, poverty, and those who come from underrepresented communities. By capturing this story, we can help bring individuals from all walks of life together and in unity. During these crazy times, the world needs more of that, and with your generous contribution, we can make that happen.
This film would not be possible without your generous contribution and continuous support! The donations will 100% go to all the stages of this film, from pre-production to post-production.
