What we didn\u2019t realize as we were working on this script, was how eerily similar it would end up being to current events.\u201d Unwavering, inspired by real events, tells the fictional story of Carolyn Kim, a Korean-American college student who fights to start an Ethnic Studies program on her campus. The story is inspired by the Third World Liberation Front student strikes in 1968 that took place throughout college campuses in California to start the first Ethnic Studies programs.<\/p>\n<p>Unwavering is written by <strong>Christine Hughes<\/strong> (BFA Screen Acting, 2018), directed by <strong>Sarah Hendry<\/strong> (MFA Directing, 2020), shot by <strong>Sarah Reddy<\/strong> (MFA Cinematography, 2020), and produced by <strong>Alex Iseri<\/strong> (MBA\/MFA Film Producing, 2020). Christine- in addition to writing the script- will also play a supporting role in the film. When we asked Christine how she brought her crew together, she said: \u201cI am so grateful for the amazing Chapman alumni network we have. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better crew to work with- so reliable, creative, and problem-solving. Our education at Chapman really prepared us for the real world- whenever I need a crew, I have so many amazing people to reach out to. Thank you Chapman and Dodge for cultivating such a collaborative community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team plans to film this summer, after wrapping their crowdfunding campaign on <a href=\"http:\/\/seedandspark.com\/fund\/unwaveringthefilm\">Seed &amp; Spark<\/a>. Their campaign will continue until June 6th. If you\u2019re interested in helping bring this story to life and supporting Chapman alumni, check out their pitch video, share, and make a pledge to their campaign at <a href=\"http:\/\/seedandspark.com\/fund\/unwaveringthefilm\">seedandspark.com\/fund\/unwaveringthefilm<\/a>.
