WHAT'S THE STORY?

White Sunday weekend has arrived at West Harbourview Union and the church is bustling in preparation.

The congregation's pride and joy – Lumana’i youth group – are in full-flight as they rehearse for Sunday’s festivities, as usual they fill the church with effortless music and life. 

However, amidst the harmonies a young man PULE (Taofia Pelesasa) struggles with the reality that he will soon be leaving this – his future sealed as a pastor in training at the prestigious Bible College in Samoa. 


But before he leaves, he must acknowledge a few truths, the most important of these is that he’s fallen in love.

OUR TEAM

Our team consists of emerging artists in the film industry who are creating their own opportunities to develop their skills.

WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO?

Whether it's $5 or $50, every little bit really does help! There are so many costs involved in a film and because we want to enter festivals some of the costs are pretty expensive, like the hireage on the high quality camera we want to shoot on.

So what kind of things can your money help us pay for? Take a look below for an idea on some of the things we need.

SOUNDS GOOD, I'M IN!

We are so humbled by all of the support we have already had and your donation above anything is a gesture of pure LOVE. Whether that be a love of story-telling or love of seeing a young group of film-makers out there and gunning for it.

We have tried to hustle some sweet rewards to gift you in return for your generosity, take a look!

Hello to all our Pledge Me Supporters 
 
Thought it was time for a well overdue update. 
 
We have all been super busy for the past 9 months and are working hard to insure all rewards are delivered ASAP. 
 
I will be emailing some of you to confirm delivery addresses otherwise hang tight and all other rewards will make it to you one way or another! 
 
As for the Film we have finally found a committed and amazing editor Chia Hsu who will be working hard this year to get our film complete! - We recently watched her first assembly and can't wait to begin the editing process so we can share our film with you all! 
 
Please do keep an eye on our FB as we hope to start posting more frequently now we are back on track and full steam ahead. 
 
 
Exciting Times Ahead. 
 
THANKS YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT

We Made It - Thank You!

We have made it! We have reached our Goal! 

But it doesn't end here - this was the bare minimum that we needed to cover costs. All extra money pledged will go directy into getting higher quality Production and Camera equipment which will improve and enhance the quality of our Film.

 

Thank you so much for the Amazing support so far.

We could not make this film without you.
