THE STORY

The film is a short about a little boy from Brooklyn who, fascinated by the concept of flight, sets out to find a way to take to the skies.

The film celebrates the innocence of children and their belief that anything is possible.  Promoting literacy and education, The Problem of Gravity invites us all on a wonderful journey in which we learn to seek the answers to our biggest dreams in the simplest of solutions.


WITH YOUR POWERS COMBINED...

Our film has been shot and is now in the post-production phase. Your contributions would help finish the film with original music and professional sound design. We also plan to take the film to international and domestic film festival markets, set up screenings in schools and other venues in different cities around the world, and to find distribution to get our message as much exposure as possible.
