Make A Film Foundation
Written by Rina Goldberg, whose dream was to see her script turned into a short film, and who died due to Mitochondrial disease in December 2010. Her final words to her mother were, "Promise you'll take care of my film." Her script was then adapted into a short film by Academy Award winning writer Diablo Cody (JUNO). Jon Poll (Dir. Charlie Bartlett/Co-Prod. Meet the Fockers) directed. The film stars: Bailee Maidson (Parental Guidance/Just Go With it); Hailee Steinfeld (Academy Award nominated-True Grit); Jackson Rathbone (Twilight Film Franchise); JK Simmons (Juno/Spider-Man); James Van Der Beek (Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23/Dawson's Creek). The film's red carpet premiere was in Los Angeles in May 2013 and Philadelphia in June 2013. It is currently being requested by festivals all over the US.
