Grief Night Club Trailer
"Asking for help is one of the hardest things anyone can do in life. In my own experience, I believed asking others for guidance, or assistance, or help when I didn't have the strength to complete an exigent task, or have the energy to continue 'showing up' in various areas of my life meant that I was somehow weak. I believed if I couldn't solve my own issues -- and I know myself better than others -- how can anyone else solve them for me, or give me the tools I need to be able to solve them. I didn't want to be weak, I wanted to be strong, to be able to say 'I got this, don't worry about me.' It wasn't until further into college where I realized that asking for help, and truly being vulnerable and honest does not make one weak, but actually makes one strong. Acknowledging that one cannot do everything alone, even what may seem to be a conquerable task for an individual, is okay, and a sign of true strength. We're all made perfect in our weaknesses, and if we don't accept those, then how can we ever be truly strong?
Being an artist and a storyteller, my goal in life is to share stories with the world that tackle what lies at the core of our humanity: our struggles, our foibles, our strengths, our triumphs, our...weaknesses. I believe that the best art is made when a person can look at a screen or a stage and see themselves in characters and moments, and in turn, find their own importance to the world. Taking what I've learned from being an actor, a writer, and also from acknowledging my own struggles, I found using art for my aforementioned goal is the best way to share a piece of my own story and to do so in a way that's both entertaining, thought-provoking, and resonating. Enter...a short film musical." - Nolan Robinson
This past fall, through challenges brought on by the pandemic, I was able to film a short film musical featuring the work of close to 40 students and recent Northwestern alumni. Having reached half our $5000 goal back in March for pre-production, the remaining still to raise will be used towards film festival funding -- since costs are attached with submissions, a small gift for the artists involved, and reimbursements (gas, meals/props a producer paid for, etc.)
If there is any money remaining it will be used towards the next project
If you'd like to donate to propel this film as far as it can go, we would greatly appreciate that.
No donation is too small!!
