A film about the Haitian-American experience in Miami needs your support!

Haitian-American Filmmaker RACHEL BENJAMIN is set to shoot her first feature this summer! Titled "According to Diana", the film is about a first generation Haitian-American woman navigating the Miami scene as she struggles to fit in. Per Benjamin's GoFundMe campaign description:
 
"'According To Diana' is about a 1st generation Haitian American woman, named Diana, who reluctantly moves to sunny Miami, Florida when she loses her apartment in New York and has to stay with her ultra conservative Haitian family.  In the midst of her new environment, Diana struggles to blend in and starts a relationship with a doctor doing his residency from Montreal Canada.  Things get murky and confusing, until an asthma attack brings everything back into a much clearer view. It's about Diana trying to navigate through life and various relationships with not so great results."

The film is in pre-production and is set to shoot this summer in Florida. I had the pleasure of participating in a table read for the film in Florida about a year ago and I absolutely enjoyed the script!
