Filmmaker Nina Juliano knows the story she wants to tell - one that shines a light on women with a fire in their hearts that only burned brighter in the face of stifling societal norms. To get the tale on the silver screen, however, Juliano is going to need a little help. She just launched a crowdfunding campaign to help build the budget for this new project - creating a short film entitled "Little Sicily."

She only has 20 days left to raise the $17,500 needed for cast and crew for the project. For information about the campaign and to make a donation, visitwww.indiegogo.com/projects/little-sicily-short-film-fundraiser.
