Since 2019, we've been partnered with the local Houston arts organization Fresh Arts to raise tax-deductible donations to funding my debut feature film Acid Test!

We were able to raise $40,000 for production last June and are now looking for post-production donations to finish our film!

Based on the award-winning short film, the feature film Acid Test follows Jenny as she turns 18 and grapples with what it means to be an adult in the early 90's. Steeped in the aesthetic of punk music, we watch Jenny discover a new aggressively feminist perspective inspired by the Riot Grrrl – girls in punk – movement. Along the way, she experiments with LSD and begins to question all of the rules and truths she's lived by her whole life. Set against the backdrop of the 1992 Presidential Election and themes of civic engagement, Jenny launches a rebellion against her family, against the patriarchy her father represents, and tumbles into a new sense of self.

The feature film is an activist film. With a female lead of Mexican descent, our story showcases much-needed diversity on screen as part of a need in the film industry and film market for more diverse content. We are also showcasing that diversity behind the camera: as a female writer director, it is vital to me to be part of the changes needed in my industry in hiring women and people of color in crew positions.

We also partnered with Houston Community College (HCC) where I teach filmmaking full-time to offer students an opportunity to train on our feature film set to gain valuable professional experience while also earning credits toward their degrees.

Because of these artistic, political, and educational goals, instead of traditional investors, we are raising production funds through our fiscal sponsor, Fresh Arts, and it's so wonderful to have LOCAL support for our locally-produced film!!!

In order to maximize your tax deduction and our fundraising efforts, we are looking for contributions in the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 level. Any donors who give over $1,000 will receive an Associate Producer credit and will be invited to the friends and family screening and receive a secret link to the film while it’s in festival submission. We are following Producer’s Guild of America guidelines for Executive Producer credit, and awarding that to donors who give at least $25,000.

Of course ANY amount is much appreciated! Donations over $50 will receive the finished film after festivals.

Please look into whether your company participates in a matching grant program. Large corporations and even smaller companies will often match an employee’s donation to a 501c3 100% or sometimes even 200%!
There's a moment in the script where Jenny sees a poster for Oberlin College that shows the Earth from space and the tagline "Think one person can change the world? So do we." It's a moment from my own life that led me to go to Oberlin and a mantra I've held in my life since graduating. In some small way, the making of Acid Test is part of changing the film production world, and it is my hope and belief that the finished movie will have an impact of social change once it reaches its audience.

Please join me in rebellion by becoming Acid Test's Donor. Your help is needed to spread the word and be part of the change in the film industry we all want to see!

Thank you.
