We need your help in order to fulfill our vision for The Rise of Hope. We felt that this story accurately represents our day and age with a certain subtlety and nuance that can be enjoyed even at surface level. Her people have been oppressed by the oppressive Galactic Legion regime for hundreds of years, and the revolution is now beginning. The story of The Rise of Hope follows a cargo pilot named Dak Reiper that must learn what it means to be ally to his friend, Wei Shin.


We are a team of diverse individuals that want to work together for the equity of all human beings. It is a passion for change that we all share.įor my team and many others, we have watched the injustices that have occured in our lifetime, but most specifically, the inequality of the last several years that has been brought to light by the Black Lives Matter movement. The Rise of Hope is not some class project. We are all young filmmakers in our 20s that recognize the era in which we are living, and we wanted to use our talents to make a statement. Representation and diversity in these films are often lacking. The Rise of Hope balances sci-fi action with social commentary.
