About this project

SEE VIDEO FOR SYNOPSIS.

Guiding Star Productions is raising funds for their next feature film entitled "MY BRISTER," a film that aims to support the acceptance of LGBT individuals; while still entertaining its audience with intriguing characters and a dynamic story. Though we are asking for $10,000, the entire film will cost closer to $50,000....most of which will come out of our pockets, So if you have a spare dollar lyin’ around (or a thousand of ‘em) don’t be afraid to invest because believe me when I say every cent counts!

WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR:
All of your generous donations will be going towards publicity and distribution fees; because I believe this is an important story to tell, especially now during the LGBT Civil Rights Movement, and what good is making a movie if no one is able to see it. So if you have a spare dollar lyin’ around or a thousand of ‘em, don’t be afraid to invest.

As you've already probably noticed from all the production stills, we've already completed a short excerpt from the script! This was basically meant to test out some casting and acting styles and to see how the audience reacted. If you'd like to read more about the film, or to see an excerpt from the short, please visit http://www.hilarionbanks.com/my%20brister%20pamplet.html

Along with all the cool stuff you can get with your generous donations listed to the right, those dedicated supporters that donate $500 or more will also receive a ticket to Keith and Margo's Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre of Texas. www.murdermysterytexas.com and those who pledge $100 can also receive a print of their choice from the DPs photography portfolio www.ligaiyaromero.com
