Our short film’s budget is $50,000. Of that, AFI provides $15,000.

Our goal is to fundraise the remaining $35,000.

The AFI Conservatory is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization. Because of this, your donation to our thesis film is potentially tax-deductible.

All donations will receive a Special Thanks credit at the end of the film. Donations that are $5,000 and above will receive an additional Executive Producer credit.

Credit/debit card (here—be sure that IRON LAKE is selected from the drop-down menu), check, cash, wire transfer, and even stock donations are all accepted.

Please note: with credit/debit card donations, there is a small processing fee. There are no fees with a check or with cash.

If donating via check, please make it out to American Film Institute, and in the memo line, please write 2423 IRON LAKE. Checks can be mailed to:

American Film Institute
C/O 2423 IRON LAKE
2021 N Western Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90027

Please reach out to Annine (fzhang@afi.edu) or Grant (gswanson@afi.edu) with any questions.

Any donation amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Sincerely,

Grant, Annine, Ioana, Emily, and Bobby
