Finishing Funds – Donate to “Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism”

Fri, Sep 12, 2008

Greetings,

In addition to my documentary, Our Side of Joy, I am making Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism, a film about an African American woman with Albinism. This documentary explores the ins and outs of Albinism; from skin cancer, to blindness, to the social issues that come along with it. The film also offers an in depth portrait of a woman who has suffered from major illness unrelated to Albinism since childhood. With a few minutes and/or a few dollars, you could also help us finish this film as well.
