Cancer can make you feel alone, weak, and defeated; yet through love, it can teach you that life is 'Beautiful' beyond measure.
My name is Joey De Santino, and I am a filmmaker who's latest project lies very near to my heart. "Beautiful" tells the story of a young girl who is diagnosed with cancer. She is faced with not only the battle of the disease itself, but with the struggles of identity that will ultimately force her to grow into a strong and beautiful woman while the disease runs it's course. The film is inspired by my own father's diagnosis with the life-defining disease, and as such is a project that carries with it a very powerful meaning.
The funds raised through this campaign will go towards the creation of this short film, enabling me to give it the production value necessary to do justice to it's cause. Any remaining funds will be used to submit the film to festivals, helping to build exposure and further my ultimate goal: to spread it's message. Even the smallest donations can make a difference.
I will be keeping this Kickstarter updated with news on the film's progress, and am very excited at the prospect of receiving support from this community for such a beautiful project.
