- Pembroke Circle Fundrasing Lunch Party At Studio 500

UCF MFA Film student, Max Rousseau, would like to invite you to the launch party for his fundraising campaign that will support his dramatic narrative feature that will be shot this summer as his MFA thesis film. Pembroke Circle is a dramatic story that follows a young girl whose life is traumatically impacted by a disturbing instance of human trafficking that hits extremely close to home:

When Grace’s father takes a cultural exchange student into their conventional home, the life she’s accustomed to is shaken by a dark secret… and her own repressed past.

Pembroke Circle calls attention to an important subject and the filmmaker wants it to contribute as much as possible to human trafficking awareness.  As an independent production, the support of an audience base early on is always very helpful.  We hope you will consider coming to the event!
