Short Summary

Banzerini House is bringing professional theater and film experiences to young actors in Arizona. A non-profit organization, we’re committed to the arts and sharing our passion and experience with the north-Phoenix community.

Our films have consistently won awards and we love giving our students the opportunity to experience a real film set and short film experience. This will be our third film short in Arizona, and we’re hoping that with contributions we can achieve our vision, this time with a story of suspense.

What We Need & What You Get

Making these films usually costs us $100,000, which we have to beg and borrow from friends, family, and community members. Your support would go a long way towards helping us establish necessary roots in Arizona, as well as fund sets, food, salaries for professional filmmakers, transportation, etc. Even if we don’t reach our full goal, we will use what we get to fund as much of those things as possible.

Perks include getting to come join us on set, meeting the team, invites to premiers and film festivals and more!

The Impact

Your contribution makes a huge impact!

• You’ll help us produce another short film in the desert of Arizona
• Be a part of an award-winning short film, with your name in the credits!
• Keep the arts alive for children and teens in Arizona who wouldn’t normally have this kind of access without traveling out of state

Risks & Challenges

If we don’t achieve our goals, we may need to delay film making, or be unable to fund future productions.

• We’ve fundraised before, though, and ensured we had what we needed for these films
• Because our films win awards, we’re excited to see momentum building behind us for ongoing productions
