Funding Beautifully Insecure Movie
Funding Beautifully Insecure Movie: saved earnings, cancelled cable, made and sold DVDs. First I spent too much time begging people for money. After an unsuccessful crowd funding campaign I decided to just work a job and save money. As I worked I saved pennies and got rid of some bills, such as cable and internet. Made some DVDs of small film projects and went out in the street and sold them. I did some side jobs for companies to add extra funds. I also boarded service for locations and filmed online videos for a mobile home company who then let me use the house for free on Sundays.
Imagine falling in love with someone but not able to love yourself. Leanna was
diagnosed with Alopecia at age 7 and by 9 years of age all her hair was gone.
Unlike some others with Alopecia, by her early 20's her insecurities had a grip
on her heart. So much that she became a master of hiding her hair loss. It
wasn't until she met the love of her life Terrence she felt she couldn't hide it
any longer. As their love grew, the pressure to tell Terrence also grew. Will she
ever realize she's probably her worse enemy? She's in for a big surprise!
