Former GHS student Tito Contreras is seeking your help to fund his film project called "Censored." You can go to his YouTube channel to watch the trailer. Here's more from Tito:
Hi, everybody! Here is my official trailer of my first short film, "Censored"! It is now OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED in Seed & Spark! Please make a contribution so we can make this film a reality. The link will be in the description down below. I've worked on this trailer since late January or early February. At the time, I came up with the idea and made an outline for the trailer. A few weeks later, we shot it which turned out pretty well. However, the only thing that didn't go well was the personal interview. I wasn't ready to talk about what I want to talk about. My mind went blank and I stuttered a lot. I didn't do well. So, I decided to reshoot the interview the following week. That interview turned out amazing. I made myself notes of what to talk about that time. I felt that I was really talking to you guys. What's interesting about this trailer is that most of the it is in vlog style. This reminds me of the vlogs that I used to make in high school, when I actually became interested in video production. The style of the trailer is a throwback to what I used to do then. I kind of miss making vlogs. If I have the time in my life right now, I can start making them again. To me, this is something fun to do. Anyway, it took a while for me and my editor to edit the video. After a few weeks, we finally got it done. I am glad that I'm finally sharing this to you all. I want you to know that I'm going to shoot the film really soon. I'm really excited and I hope y'all are excited! This is something very new for me to do. I hope the shoot will go well.
