About this project
I am hoping to graduate with my MFA in Cinematography by the end of May. In order to complete my degree, I am required to shoot 5 films, two 3-5 minute films, and three 12-15 minute films on 16mm, S16mm, 35mm, and HD. I decided to apply my undergrad degree in psychology and make a coherent series of films loosely based off of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualization.
I've already shot three of the films. Two are going through post production and one is completed, online, and can be viewed here: http://www.vimeo.com/4978927
See samples of my work here: http://www.vimeo.com/karenabadfilms
I plan on shooting the last two films on 35mm and HD in April. However, I need your help in completing my Thesis.
The money raised will go towards buying raw 35mm stock, processing, and production costs (production design/craft services,etc).
Every little bit helps. Thank you for your donation and for supporting the arts.
