Expression College Seniors Seek Help with Final Project: 'Nino'

From a Suisun City Patch Facebook Reader:

Short Summary

Hello everyone! This is Marilyn Herbison and Quentin Williams, seniors at Expression College for Digital Arts in Emeryville, California. Our final year is already here and we need your help to make our final project, Nino, our best yet!

Nino is a story about a relationship between a teenager, Lorenzo, and his grandfather, Nino, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The family structure is jeopardized as they face difficult choices regarding Nino's future.

Making movies is hard, and making GOOD movies is harder. We've done the creative work by coming up with a solid concept, script and visual design. Now, we're in the process of building a team and casting the production as well as obtaining all the props, set dressing, camera gear locations and other resources needed.

If you help contribute to the film, you can get a variety of things from a special thanks, exclusive behind the scenes looks, signed goods from the production, all the way up to executive producer credit. Any amount you contribute will make a significant impact on our production and will be greatly appreciated!

The Impact

Many times young people are left out of the conversation about Alzheimer's disease and its effects on a family. This film illustrates a young man coming to terms with how the disease has impacted him, his family and his world view.

By making this film we want to provide a conversation starter for families and others as they learn about or face this challenging disease.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute directly, please spread the word on our behalf. All forms of social media and going to reach new and more potential contributors, so pass the word along to everybody you know. Thanks.
