InFRAME Pathways is partnering with GiGi’s Playhouse NYC to produce a short film called Friendship Rocks! featuring an incredible group of participants coming together to tell an inspiring story. Not a workshop. Not a showcase. A real, finished film produced start to finish by the InFRAME team, and performed by people who have been putting in real work to get here.

We film in mid June. The program is well underway.

The sessions leading up to filming have been focused on making sure every participant feels prepared, comfortable, and confident on camera. We have taken our time. We have learned how each person communicates, what makes them light up, and how to create an environment where trying something new feels exciting rather than intimidating. These are adults who have done remarkable things, and now they are adding filmmaking to that list.

Friendship Rocks! is going to be something worth watching. And every dollar raised through this campaign goes directly toward making the production everything it deserves to be.

Every dollar raised here goes directly to this production. To making sure the participants have what they need, the set is what it should be, and the finished film reflects the standard these participants deserve.

We are filming in June. Help us make it extraordinary.

When it is finished, you will be able to watch what your support made possible. You are not just donating to a cause. You are joining a production.

What this campaign funds:

Script development and character work tailored to each participant
All program sessions and instruction leading up to filming
Professional filming, direction, and full production on shoot day
Post-production: editing, color, sound, and finishing
A finished short film GiGi's Playhouse NYC and every participant can share and be proud of
