PROJECT 1: Hello my name is Jonathan Mazeza, I am an actor and writer and I would like to fund a short film, This short film would serve as a proof of concept, to help raise funding for a Feature film. The film is titled "SABOT" Sabot follows the story of Tristan SABOT follows Tristan, a young college student who is deeply in love with his girlfriend Jessica, and one day, she breaks up with him. He's baffled and wants answers. Jessica refuses to justify and is terrified to be seen with him; Tristan is heartbroken and confides in his best friends, DARIUS and JORDAN, who help him get over his breakup by taking him clubbing to meet new girls. The group enters the club, where Tristan meets a beautiful, almost unreal woman called Gina. She's immediately fond of him.
They spend a little time together at the club; Gina invites Tristan and his friends to her Mansion to continue partying. Tristan is reluctant to go but eventually concedes after his friends convince him. Tristan is very uneasy about the mansion party, where many dark secrets are hidden. They arrive at the mansion in the middle of a forest and have a party; they explore Tristan's easiness, which only grows until he makes the grim discovery that GINA does not have a reflection. Titanized in fear, he slowly walks out into the hallway, where he can hear his friends yelling from behind doors where they have been captured, telling him to run for his life. Tristan runs out of the mansion, making more horrific encounters as he escapes; after escaping the mansion, TRISTAN has to find a way to help His friends left behind.
I have already assembled a team, I have actors a Director of photography, a sound Guy, and a location ready. The money will help pay everyone and secure the location I have attached a concept trailer below to give an idea of what the film would look like. I have also attached another link to showcase previous me and my team have done prior. A short film The Linguist had a premiere at the Chicago 48-hour Film Festival, I will have the script attached for anyone to read, as well PDF pitch deck to give a more visual representation.
PROJECT 2: I would like to open a soul food restaurant, a soul food spot in the Lakeview area of Chicago, more specifically and preferably on Diversey, The area is perfect for its diversity of people. From international college students to postgraduates and locals, the place is vibrant. There are few vacancies in the area to open a solid restaurant, we plan to open a medium size restaurant with a few employees at the beginning. we hope to make more food fanatics in the area, fall in love with soul food, especially with those who've never had it. from the charming music inside the restaurant to the amazing food inside we intend on seducing a large list of clientele. This would be your classic soul food spot with a modern look to it. We have a couple of locations in the area that could be great to place the restaurant in and would be helpful and easy to access for customers, especially since there are so many people walking. The competition in the area would be fierce, however, our restaurant stands out among the rest for two reasons first it is the only Soul food restaurant in the area, which would allow us to stand out, and second people in the area have an appetite for everything. The array of the area varies, from Korean restaurants to Japanese sushi bars, to Dominican restaurants, to Indian restaurants, Mexican food, and American fast food. Seeing these restaurants from all over the world all coexisting and all have full houses, gives us the confidence that our restaurant can also succeed in the same area. We truly believe it's an opportunity that must be seized. Hence why we have put together a plan and are ready to enact upon it, and not miss the opportunity of a lifetime.
