Support Independent Filmmaking: Bringing "Yerham" to Life in Kansas City
At Bateekh, we're passionate about storytelling that reflects the richness and diversity of our communities. Our debut film project, "Yerham," is a testament to this commitment—a heartfelt narrative set in Kansas City, Missouri, exploring themes of loss, family, and cultural identity. But as any filmmaker knows, bringing a vision to life on the silver screen requires more than just passion—it takes support from our community.
Independent filmmaking can be a daunting endeavor, with costs mounting at every stage of the production process. From preproduction planning to post-production editing, every aspect of filmmaking requires resources, and these costs can quickly add up. That's why we're reaching out to you, our supporters, to help us make "Yerham" a reality.
With your contribution of just $75, you can play a crucial role in bringing "Yerham" to life. Every cent of your donation will be invested back into the local Kansas City community, supporting talented creatives, securing locations, and covering essential production expenses. Here's a breakdown of where your donation will go:
1. Crew Labor: Fair compensation for the dedicated professionals behind the scenes.
2. Talent: Ensuring our actors receive the recognition they deserve for their performances.
3. Production Insurance: Protecting our team and equipment during filming.
4. Equipment and Gear: From lighting to sound, we need the best tools to tell our story effectively.
5. Production Supplies: From hard drives to art department materials, every detail matters.
6. Location Fees: Securing the perfect settings to bring our story to life.
7. Catering: Keeping our cast and crew fueled and focused during long days on set.
8. Post-Production: Editing, sound design, and studio costs to refine our film.
9. Music Licensing: Bringing the perfect soundtrack to our story.
10. Film Festival Submissions: Sharing "Yerham" with audiences around the world.
By contributing to our fundraising efforts, you're not just supporting a film—you're investing in the power of storytelling to foster understanding, empathy, and positive change. Your support will be forever appreciated, and we'll be sure to acknowledge your contribution in the credits of "Yerham" as a token of our gratitude.
