Be part of a story with a cause
The Pink Lagoon is a story about reflection and learning. It’s about breaking limits, norms and perceptions. A reminder to appreciate the importance of human connections and to recognize ourselves in each other, even when we feel that person is very different from us. It is a story that addresses the issue of individuality within disability. We have the common misconception that all people with Down Syndrome are the same, leading us to often limit them. Usually discrimination does not come from a place of bad intention, but from ignorance. This story aims to show, without following any moral banners, that people with Down Syndrome are just people, with good qualities and flaws, different from each other, but who enjoy and see life from a different place. Even though the theme of our story is quite universal, we want to make a very Mexican film. We believe in Mexico and think that inclusion is key in being able to unite and move forward as a society. We will show places in the country that are not very well-known, like the Pink Lagoon in Las Coloradas, diverse natural landscapes in the state of Yucatan, and the incredible city of Mérida, where most of the story takes place.
As much as we would like to only need to rely on our talent, we do also rely on money to be able to begin shooting. We are doing well in terms of funding, but we still need some more. If we don’t hit the mark by April, we have two options: either we push production a bit until we have the complete funds, or we find ways of adapting to the budget we have. If we see this second option is doable, we’ll go for it; as long as we don’t compromise in terms of quality.
So rest assured... This movie, our movie, will definitely get done!

Where do the funds go
DonaArte is one of our main allies, and will receive any funds we receive. All we really want is to tell this story and make Mony´s dream come true. Any earnings made by this movie, will help tell new stories with a cause and promote awareness on the importance of inclusion in our society:
A your collective that seeks to change the world through art and philanthropy.
