Hi, I am 26 year old filmmaker from Florida.  I am also a US Army Veteran, I got out in 2005.  It was actually my desire to make movies that prompted me to join the military.  I did it primarily so that I could get out and use the GI Bill to pay for film school.  So now here I am at film school, at long last. 

First off, I love making movies.  It's been my dream since I was 18 and it's the perfect fit for me.  I love what I do and I am good at it, if I do say so myself.  I am studying at the International Academy of Film and Television.  Their site is http://filmschool.ph and there is a lot of info on their site.  A classmate of mine has a blog on their site and he wrote about me on some of his posts.  http://filmschool.ph/blog/?p=21#more-21 

Here is the reason I need a loan to continue on with my education here.  This school has yet to be accredited and recognized by the Veteran's Administration.  That means that I can't collect my benefits from the GI Bill.  The whole reason I went in.  Also, I am a disabled veteran, but only 10% and you need to be 20% to be eligible for vocational rehabilitation, in which the VA pays for everything.  I have enough money to live or to go to school, but without my GI Bill benefits, I can't do both.

This is my dream.  I want to make great movies.  This is something I am so passionate about that I enlisted in the Army and went to war, all so I could go to film school and subsequently make awesome movies.  Please help me make this dream as real as it should be.
