KISMET a short film

My name is Danni DeLuca, and I've graduated with my Master's Degree from the prestigious and world-renowned Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. I am fundraising to complete financing for my graduation project, a short film called "Kismet". This is an exciting, romantic, and tragic film surrounding fate. The theme drives at second chances and listening to your heart.

My dream to be a storyteller through the gorgeous medium of film is my second chance. I ambitiously Directed, Produced, and wrote this film. In addition to performing the lead character, I contributed to every aspect of this short from Set Design to Locations, Editing and collaborating with the Music Composer. To say this was a "labor of love" is an understatement. That's what this project is for me.

Like so many others, unfortunately, my education at The RCSSD was disrupted during the pandemic and I had to return to the States. It was a very uncertain and challenging time for me. I didn't know when or even if I could come back to finish. After a lot of hard work, extensive applications, and reapplying for my visa, I finally secured my place in my program the following year.

THE PROJECT

For our final projects, the students at RCSSD are responsible for the film's production entirety, including funding. That's where I need your help. I've assembled a diverse cast and crew; the script is fantastic, we have a shooting location, and we've reserved our equipment. We've completed principal photography, and it's been edited! But all these things cost money. Aside from your donations, I've fronted the costs personally and additionally submitted Kismet to the film festival circuit.

**UPDATE**

We Wrapped!! I am nearly there. I need your support now more than ever to get Kismet over the finish line of Film Festival Submission fees!

Bringing inspiring stories to life on the screen is a passion and a talent of mine, and I am so lucky I have the opportunity to do so. I want to share this experience and connect with each of you.
