Hello! For those of you who don’t know, my name is Amira Hasib, I graduated last year from Pratt Insitute with a BFA in Film/Video. I am current looking to shoot my first film since college, “Before, After & In Between”, but I need your help!
I’m a black female filmmaker that graduated from Pratt Institute in May 2018. Before, After & In Between will be my first film since college however the reason why it’s important to me is because I want to use it to launch my career and base who I am around its premise–black female vulnerability.
This film is so close to my heart in a way that I have never felt before. I want to show a side of womanhood that I feel like I was taught to ignore. Writing the script for this film, I cried so much because I felt like I was exposing the darkest sides of myself but in the best way. It was my catharsis. This is me turning my broken heart into art. Writing tis film pulled me out of a really deep dark hole. I now have something worthwhile to chase and I want you all to be a part of this experience.
In order to bring this project to life, I need to raise a heaping $10,500!
Watch the video in which I break everything down!
Through a series of vignettes, we follow Amber as she navigates her way through modern dating–a world full of situationships, misunderstandings, and unspoken feelings. From an awkward first kiss, to an even more awkward first time, Amber laters finds an unexpected first love. “Before, After and In Between” details the before, the start, the end and the aftermath of their situation-ship and calls into question what true love really is.
Before, After & In Between is about finding strength in vulnerability. Black women are often not given room to be vulnerable, and awkward.
A glimpse of what’s in store…
I made a film within the same realm while I was a sophomore in college called Last Call. It is a short that shows the start and end of a lesbian relationship through a series of flashbacks soundtracked by a voicemail.
Check out Last Call here!
So, all in all, we have 30 days to raise $10,500! I hope you all can help me get this film made! All prizes and further details are on the Indiegogo page!
I hope you all believe in this project as much as I do and will ensure I can get it made! Thank you!
