    You can help!

    Producing a professional motion picture is expensive, challenging, and time consuming. In addition to a modest grant from AFI, our team is seeking to raise an additional $40,000 to successfully produce our film. 

    You can help the Santa Ana Winds team by making a tax-deductible* donation to AFI to support our film. In addition to helping our film, investors will be contributing to our development as filmmakers and helping to tell a personal story. 

    If you’re able to help us, please fill out this donation form and mail it to:

    Santa Ana Winds
    c/o The American Film Institute
    2021 N. Western Ave
    Los Angeles, CA 90027

    We are grateful for any contribution, no matter how small. Thank you for helping tell our story. 

    We also welcome donations of goods, services, and many other forms of production support and in-kind donations.

    Donors will receive these screen credits:

    Friend   ($20 to $100)
    Supporter   ($101-$250)
    Contributor   ($251-$1,000)
    Sponsor   ($1001-$2,500
    Patron   ($2,501-$5,000
    Associate Producer   ($5,001-$7,500)
