Filmmaker for SF Non-profit (SF Bay Area)

We need help making a short documentary relating the following events: Recently, someone anonymously donated a bag of used clothing to one of our thrift stores and one of our sorters, Maria, a humble woman from Guatemala who was working 2 jobs to make ends meet for her family, found $4,000 in the pocket of a pair of jeans. She was honest enough to admit it and turned the $ in. We gave her $400 to reward her for her honesty and all of us decided to donate the remaining $3,600 help the kids we serve. Your job would be to go film this woman, and get her story-- Who is she, why didn’t she just pocket the money? In addition, we plan to follow the $3,600 to Africa where it will be loaned to very poor grandmothers and aunties who are taking care of orphans. About 50 of them will receive loans for starting their own small businesses, which will ultimately support the orphans they care for, as well as additional children and adults in their household, about 250 people in all.

We’ll film all that in Africa then bring their thanks and stories back to Maria and if done well we should have an incredible little film. Due to our small budget will are not offering pay for this project, except for an all-expenses paid trip to Africa for 3 weeks in the upcoming months.

If interested, we may have another longer-term project involving our work teaching self-defense against rape in areas where it is rampant to the woman and girls in these devastated communities.
