Story
Mission Statement
I, Alyssa Barreda am a senior film director at ASU. I have been creating films for over 10 years. I have a passion for writing, directing, and editing. I want to bring the diversity and culture of my life into my future films to show the reality of the working middle class.About The Project
This project is for the senior film showcase at Arizona State University. I will be graduating in Fall 2021 and this short film will be one of my biggest productions I have yet to accomplish. I am excited to make my story come to life with the help of my crew members from Arizona State University.
My film titled Palmdale, is set in the 90s and is about a Mexican-American family who recently transitioned from a middle-class to a lower-class lifestyle. Rebecca is a talented artist but struggles to reach her full potential in school. Luna is Rebecca’s younger sister and hopes to gain knowledge of Spanish speaking in exchange to help Rebecca do well in school. While the sisters go through their struggles, Ani, their mother praises to them about how important her Catholic faith is
Palmdale will capture the importance and uniqueness of Hispanic culture by showcasing car shows including lowriders and cruising culture, Mexican treats such as dulce and helado, and the music relating to the 90s. To execute this film, we need your help in raising money to support costume design, camera and lighting equipment, and production design for our cast and crew!
In regards to the ongoing pandemic, we are dedicated to coming together as a team to create a safe and responsible workplace while filming.
The Sidney Poitier New American Film School at Arizona State University has provided us with guidelines and resources in order to help us in this task of creating the safest possible conditions while our team is on set. We are taking the precautions of testing, taking temperatures, and sanitizing.
