New York Film Academy Or Bust!

 

 

 

 

I am Kiara Sloan, a crazy fun girl from Chicago.  I am the second oldest of six kids; we’re an alternative family.

I'm a 15 year old, aspiring filmmaker.  I hope to use this webpage to raise money for New York Film Academy's Teen Film Camp for the summer of 2010 in Florence, Italy.

 

 

 

 

 

Because I live in a neighborhood that’s uncared for, we really don’t have a lot of things for me to do here.  Also, because I have a big family, we don’t have a lot of money.  I am constantly reminded how hard it is to try to do everything that I want to do.  But, my family and I work hard to do the things that I’m good at doing.

I went to art classes at a school called Marwen; I learned how to do pop up books, sketching and computer animation.  Then, I worked with a non-profit art agency called RedMoon who worked with students at my school.  Now, I want to go to Florence, Italy to the New York Film Academy in the summer of 2011.  It’s really expensive and I can’t afford it right now, that is why I need your help.  

I want to go to new places and not live in the same place all of my life.  I want to see new things.  I want to make HISTORY one day.

 

I love film because I can express myself from behind the lens.  I can show people what I see in the world.  I can show the good and the bad that life has.  I want to help people like me to know that there are different places, things and cultures to see.  My goal is to create a portfolio to show my skills and talents.  Hopefully, that can get me into a good college so that I can continue to work towards my goals of becoming a film maker and director.  I want to be remembered by everyone for the beauty and good I’ve shown in my movies.  One day, I hope that my neighborhood is not uncared for anymore.  To do this, I need a vote of confidence and your generous donation.
