Help us bring Desolate Dreams to the screen in 2027
2027 marks the 200th anniversary of the Black Press in America and 85 years since the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans began. We are working to bring Desolate Dreams to the screen as we commemorate these defining chapters in American history.
Desolate Dreams is a narrative short film set in 1942 Los Angeles. Inspired by the overlooked history of Black journalists who advocated for Japanese Americans during World War II, it follows the friendship between an African American journalist and a Japanese American family as they confront the devastating impact of incarceration.
With nearly half of our production budget secured, we are actively closing our remaining fundraising gap so we can begin pre-production and film in spring/early summer 2027.
Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution today and join us in bringing this history to the screen and educating the next generation.
