OUR STORY
Manifesto is about a young graffiti artist named Gradey who is
abandoned by his crew, arrested, and sentenced to community service at
the community center he tagged. While there, he sees something that he
has never had in his life, family. He struggles to gain the trust of
the people who work at the center, but balancing all aspects of his
life prove to be even more difficult when his friends come back to
confront him.
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
We hope to impact the way people view Graffiti as an art form, but we are also promoting community in an effort to get kids off the street. To teach them that they can use art and graffiti to express themselves openly, and not by vandalizing.
WHAT WE NEED & WHAT YOU GET
We need this film to be as authentic as possible from all aspects of production. From casting to securing locations, money is going to be a necessity. If we raise enough money, we will have the opportunity to shoot 35mm film as well.
HOW ELSE YOU CAN HELP
Please spread the word to family and friends. We are anxious to collaborate with you!
