Dear Friends,

This will be my fourth short film as a Writer/Director. I am so proud to be an independent filmmaker. I pour a lot of myself, my deepest thoughts, and feelings into these films and hope to share with as many people as possible. Ultimately I want to make movies that audiences can relate and take home that is really important to them in their lives. My intentions are that they also are left with a sense of joy and happiness.

Below is some information about the film I am currently working on as well as an invitation to help me tell this story.

I Am. is a 20-30 minute short film about a young man who is lost in the world of “life”. He trusts no one and allows no one to contribute into his life. A miracle saves his life and he is reborn.

This script is very close to my heart. I wrote this a long time ago. I would appreciate any and every level of support to tell this story. Some of you will be directly supporting me by being a part of the production team and bringing your energy and enthusiasm. Others may contribute in the capacity of a donor. I am humbled by whatever capacity of contribution you choose.

A lot of talented and amazing people have signed on to make this movie a visual treat, melodious to the ear, and stylistically refreshing. We will be shooting on the RED One Camera.

Our total budget is $7000.00. The funds will be used entirely for production and post production.

Here is the more specific list of where the money will go for those who are interested: equipment rentals, craft services, insurance costs, location fees, permits, gas & travel expenses, camera gear, lighting, set design, props, post-production services (sound design, editing, color correction), music rights, composer and marketing (website, posters, festival submissions).

Please watch my earlier movie Uggu Time to go home (http://vimeo.com/10847748) and I promise you that I Am . movie will also bring a new perspective in life.

Thanks for your support,

Ramesh Devu
