Help Eric fund his Final student film!

Hi, my name is Eric Tatum and I am a senior studying Film and Television at Columbia College in Chicago! I’m running this campaign to gather funds for my thesis film.

My thesis film is BEAT. It follows Angel going through the difficult journey of leaving her loved ones behind because they lead crack to her front door.

I am looking to raise $10,000 in funds for the budget of BEAT. Shooting begins the first week of April! Updates about the production can be found at: https://www.instagram.com/beat_shortfilm?igsh=MXVrZ3B4ZnIzb3B0dg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr on Instagram!

This story is important for me to tell as I have personal ties to it and have known others who have gone through something similar. It showcases how, although environmental factors can be out of one’s control, discipline and resilience can drive someone to something better.

As a student who put themselves through college, I have a deep appreciation for hard work and achieving anything you set your mind to. I would be greatly appreciative if you were to help with this in any way.

If you would like to get more information about the film, feel free to message me on the BEAT Instagram page!

Thank you for your time and I hope you’re looking forward to BEAT!
