Welcome to WHO IS JOI SERACHA? the film.
 
My name is Marlene and I’ve been directing films, commercials, music videos and web series for almost 30 years. But I recently found myself paralyzed by the suffering in the world and the bombardment of bad news every time I looked at my phone. Depression is no easy thing to emerge from, and I couldn't help but wonder how many other people feel the same way.
 
So I wrote a film (a comedy!) called WHO IS JOI SERACHA? about a sensitive woman so traumatized by current events, she breaks into three personalities, only to become the subject of a secret documentary by her new, opportunist boyfriend. And I wrote it with the question in mind:  Can you find hope in a dark world? 
 
It’s part WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, part TRACEY ULLMAN, and set to be be raw, personal, beautiful and poetic. With a mission to touch a diverse audience whose hearts need healing and laughter.
 
I've put together an incredible cast of professional TV/Film actors who you've seen on shows like "Bones," "Hacks," "This is Us," "Shawshank Redemption," and many others.
 
      We did a live read to a packed house and got two distributors who are interested in the film. 
 
                       
 
The film was written small scale, big story. Small crew, big heart. 12 day shoot in LA. $60K will get the film in the can. More than that will help with the marketing and distribution.
 
This is where you come in. How can you help? With your financial support (TAX DEDUCTIBLE!), I can get the film shot and edited. ANY amount is appreciated. But here are some amazing perks that come with donations!

RheinoRex FAQ
Is my donation tax deductible?
Depends on a few factors like if you received a reward in exchange for the donation and the value of your donation above that rewards cost, etc. You may contact the nonprofit you donated to directly to receive information on whether or not your donation is tax deductible. Nonetheless, the emailed receipts you will receive for your donation is the documentation you need to make it tax deductible.
