I am raising money to study my dream course and one of it's first - Casting Certificate at NFTS. I’ve been given a conditional offer for the course, and so thankful to even considered.
I have been doing casting since 16 (now 20), but I never knew what I was doing was called that. I've cast projects created by me such as Black Girl Zine - https://blackinbritain.uk/photo-series/blackgirlzine2018, which is one of my first and favourite projects I've ever done which is now known as blackinbritain.uk. I've been fortunate to work with amazing Casting Directors who’ve taught me so much, shoot and cast with brands such as Adidas (social media campaign - https://www.shotbystaf.com/adidas-fasterthan), Carlton Books (#WhyIHavePride social media campaign - https://www.shotbystaf.com/7155387-whyihavepride) and even helped scout some models for a Gucci Campaign.
I have enough to pay for the deposit £500 (which will leave me broke for a bit and means I can’t buy a new lens for a while again), that needs to be paid by 6th August to confirm my space but the full course is £3.5k which needs to be paid by 21st August. This would also help with travel expenses too. I wish I could afford to pay it but I am freelance Photographer/Casting and haven’t got much work recently due to CO-VID19, and not sure if I’ll get any work soon. I also have a casual part-time job that I’m currently on furlough (small pay) until the end of August but after that, I’m not sure in regards to employment for me. I am applying for the scholarships and if I get it, it'll help partially with the costs of the course
This a career I enjoy and I want to do, so to be able to taught by three amazing Casting Directors that have cast some of my favourite movies & programmes and that I look up to would be amazing.
It would mean the world to me if you could donate or just share this. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
