"BRIGHT" FUNDRAISING EFFORTS

Huge Manatee Films is asking you to visit BRIGHT ideas, me + you before November 15th to pledge your support and contributions (however small) to making Alexa's next film a reality. Thank you!



A native of Florida, Alexa will donate 10% of the proceeds for this film to Florida's Save the Manatee Club, Inc. Save the Manatee Club (SMC) was founded in 1981 by former Florida Governor Bob Graham and singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett. The Club was started so the public could participate in conservation efforts to save endangered manatees from extinction. Today, SMC is recognized as the world's leading manatee conservation program.

"BRIGHT" SYNOPSIS

A charming tale about love and imagination, BRIGHT tells the story of Abby, a quick-witted, inquisitive 9-year-old from a remote fishing village, who is gifted with a visual impairment that enriches her vivid imagination. She is lured to the city of Singapore by her inventive father, under the pretense that that’s where her pet whale, Atari, is headed. When Abby discovers her father's real intentions for their trip, and her reality is threatened by the dissolution of her fantasy, she discovers that seeing the world in different shades is the greatest part of the journey.

This is the premise for my second-year 10-minute narrative film, which I'm scheduled to shoot from December 15 - December 24 in Singapore.
