What is Our Film About?
Our film takes place in an abusive domestic household, where Valeria struggles with her relationship as a result of being raised in a hostile environment. This film focuses on the Latina Female perspective and the generational trauma one may go through when growing up in an abusive household, and its effect on romance and relationships. However, this film artistically highlights the beauty of the Latino Club and the celebration culture in Los Angeles.
Who is Valeria
Food, Equipment, Production Design.
Your Donations will count towards individual meals, production design and equipment. All members building are UCLA students who are volunteering their time, therefor there is also a need for funding for snacks, food meals for building in Pre-Production. (Planning and building before the film happens).
What is the look of our Film?
There is a Duality theme between the Club and Quinceneras as They will both feature a coming of age look that is central to the character arc of Valeria. However as real life celebrations are pricy, it is expensive for our film for Production Design. Especially as we will be building the Pobre Diabla Night Club.
Additionally, costumes will be custom-made from old quince materials and thrifted dress materials.
