Her Self Motion Pictures
I am currently producing a political drama short about racial segregation during the Apartheid era in South Africa, 1986.
Premise: The journey of Ragel, a Caucasian South African teenager who grew up during Apartheid, finding Margaret, the maid who raised her, who disappeared without reason when she was a little girl. Ragel confronts Margaret about leaving and discovers that everything is not always black and white.
This is an ultra-low-budget student film with a high production value, up and coming directors, and great content for your reel.
The roles are unpaid.
Meal, copy, and credit guaranteed.
Non-Union
