My name is Reynald LaPorte. I am here to ask you to join me during this fundraising period to help save this film that I am working on “Missing the Dream”. I have created a website www.ariesvision.net to make easy it for you to donate whatever you can so together we can save the movie. Remember you can donate as little as $10.00 to the site, and there is no commitment. It is a onetime donation only.
A lot of my resources went to this project just because I believe in. Today I am asking from you for a vote of confident so I can go on and finish this film.
The budget for this film was $250,785.00, but today because of people like you I was able to raise a good portion of it. Since my film is of human interest, as a director I want to make an effective film without resorting too much on stylistic mannerism of mood lighting and/or bizarre camera angles. I want to undercut viewers’ certainty about anything in the film including the fall and rise of Reynaldy. Since none of the money raised so far are not come from corporate sponsorship or foundation of any kind, was rather the donations from the everyday people like you that will give me the freedom to do the movie without interference.
ABOUT THE PROJECT: “Missing the Dream”, tells the story of Reynaldy, a working class individual living in the suburbs of New York City, where for him life is a day-to-day struggle to stay above the fray and focused on his goal. It is a story of courage, tenacity and redemption. Shot against the backdrop of a city with two faces, one, which represents glamour and opportunity, and the other, which represents reality. It paints a picture of the often-ridged environment that many people experience when they first arrive in the city, which includes random acts of both kindness and violence. These two opposing forces drive the story to its climax, which places Reynaldy at a crossroad. His ultimate salvation rests with his decision to either resist lashing back at society for the hand it has dealt him or to take the high road and push through his emotional pain to realize his dream.
Six year ago terrorists attacked our financial system and killed more than 2000 people in the process. When that happened, who among us did not experience the most profound disorientation? Despair? What now? Which way do I turn? What do I tell my family? What do I tell myself? It was a time when we people were sitting together, bound by a common goal. It was a public experience shared by everyone in our society. It was awful, but we were in it together. How much worse is it then, for a lone man, stricken by a private calamity? No one knows that I lost my job. It seems to me in our society we help people only when they are in deep trouble. For example, if one is a drug addict there is a place to go for help. If he/she is an alcohol addict, again there is a place for them. What about those of us who are striving to do something good in our society? I would like to trumpet my effort to make good to society after all of my afflictions as a turning point in my life, especially, since life as we know it in New York post 9/11 is not getting easier.
Reynaldy’s story is not a dramatic one in the traditional sense of the word, perhaps it is the very simple ness of the story that will make an impact on us. If the idea of filmmaking is to take a simple idea and turn it into masterpiece, so it is not without cause that the filmmaker chose his own life experience to bring it to us. Blending his personal experiences and his creative points of view is nothing short of drama.
