"COLLISION"
As mentioned, "Collision" is a short film that addresses the universality of hate and its manifestation in the 21st century. When an interracial couple attempts to maintain a relationship, the hatred of not only their peers, but their elders, becomes an obstacle they must overcome.
THE GAME PLAN
It was early this past August (2013) that the idea for "Collision" was spawned. Shortly thereafter, we constructed a detailed calender with various deadlines to which we committed ourselves. After much writing, rewriting, editing, and networking we are currently in the very early stages of casting. Our hope is that this Kickstarter will allows us to purchase the equipment necessary in order to commence filming in late February. Below is the budget from which this Kickstarter is based:
GOALS
As ambitious college students, our hope is that we will complete filming this short by early March and be able to submit it to various film festivals (such as Austin) and generate some positive buzz. For those of you that would like to track our progress, you can like us on Facebook:

If nothing else, this film will act as a spring board for future films and assist us in building our creative portfolios, which will be especially helpful in the application process for MFA programs.
Risks and challenges
As college students our schedules are hectic. Papers, exams, extracurriculars. This may cause delays in terms of production, but we are fully prepared to wade through the chaos of scheduling conflicts and finish this film regardless of any setback we may encounter.
If we are not successful in our fundraising efforts via Kickstarter, we will be unable to continue on until further notice (whether this means revisiting Kickstarter or finding other means of fundraising). This will not deter us, however, as we are prepared to revamp and reanalyze our campaign if need be.
