Support the BFA 2020 Thesis Films!

Spark Campaign Promo from Chayse Banks on Vimeo.

 

 

 

We are the BFA graduating class of FSU's College of Motion Picture Arts and we're about to embark on our capstone projects. We are beyond excited to begin this process and create a platform to show our creative capabilities when we head out into the industry.

As filmmakers, we are extremely lucky that our college invests in us in covering our core production expenses. The college also provides matching funding for our Spark Campaign to provide the ability for our films to reach their full potential.  This is where YOU come in!

Your contributions will help us create films that highlight all of our unique voices. These gifts will enhance our films by supporting production design, equipment rentals, paying actors, costumes, makeup, special effects, digital models, and original scores. Any amount will help, whether it’s big or small. We are so appreciative of any support from friends, family, and our community.

Thank You to Our Supporters
