BEAUTIFUL: is a short film about the beauty of overcoming fear, told through the eyes of stuntwoman and freerunner Luci Romberg.

Why We’re Kickstarting “Beautiful” - Luci’s Story
I battled an eating disorder in college, and it came to define me in ways I never expected. I was extremely critical of myself, and I thought that unless I was thin, I didn't deserve to be happy.

When I met Team Tempest and started freerunning my mind opened and my eyes began to see so much more than traditional beauty. Freerunning gave me the confidence I needed to understand that I am good enough, I am pretty enough, and I have a lot to offer just being myself. A person's beauty is not defined by how tall, thin, or pretty they are - it is their soul, beliefs, and morals that makes them Beautiful. 
My ultimate goal for "Beautiful" is to inspire people in all walks of life to open their eyes to non-traditional beauty. If I can inspire 1 father to accept his son for chasing his dreams or if I can inspire 1 little girl to embrace herself and be proud of her natural beauty then this project will be a success. My hope is to help people to look and think of beauty differently and to overcome their personal insecurities. Who knows, maybe I will be able to open your eyes to a beauty you have never seen and empower you to overcome a fear.
The Film You're Funding
“Beautiful” will combine top-level film making with world class freerunning as a way to visualize Luci's journey and discovery of her own beauty truly is. This campaign is supported by a truly remarkable team: Director Victor Lopez, a founder of Tempest Freerunning and an internationally known freerunning and stunt professional, as well as DP Chad Bonanno, the creative mastermind and filmmaker behind some of the most popular freerunning videos online, will lend their expertise to creating something truly unique.

Our contributors will be joining a team of collaborative, creative and passionate professionals with a message that carries a powerful truth for everyone involved.  “Beautiful” will be a fused inspiration of quality, honesty, openness and love. Please join our team and become part of a visually impressive and emotionally compelling short film that we will all be proud of.

Our funds will be used for principle Photography, Post- Production and Film Festival submissions.
