Your Promise - A CSUN Thesis Film

Tragedy, Loss, and Grief

Our Story

David, an elementary school boy, died in a school shooting after believing his last promise was broken. He is given a chance to revisit parts of his life, to reflect on those around him, and to find closure with his family.

The Inspiration

This is the story of many who’ve experienced the fear or tragedy of losing loved ones and friends to unnecessary violence. An issue that is prevalent in our current society.

Our Goal

Our goal is to raise $35,000 to fund the production of this film, from pre-production to post. Also, donations will help us submit the finished film to various festivals. We intend to showcase our film at various festivals. With your contributions, we can showcase our crew’s abilities and potential as the next generation of filmmakers.
