In Chile, most HIV positive women are infected by their husbands in their own beds. In other words, their partners or husbands leave them to have sexual intercourse with another woman, have sexual intercourse with a man and, while very rare, inject drugs intravenously. This crowdfunding project intends to turn the tide of widespread of HIV infection and bring meaningful societal change to the citizens of Chile.

In July 2010, American businessmen Henry Wilkins and Barry McDaniel purchased a tract of land in the sleepy Costa Rica village of Miramar. The idea was to develop the land for lower and middle income Costa Ricans, in concert with local government since there is a shortage of housing in Costa Rica. Having survived the harshest conditions of post war Iraq, Bosnia and Afghanistan, Costa Rica should have been easy. What they didn't anticipate is that everything they knew would be turned upside down. Shady locals and inept government bureaucracy conspired against them. On the brink of financial disaster and investor lawsuits, they forged forward to turn the entire scenario around through hard work, honesty and also incorporated the plight of those Costa Ricans who were victims of the same type of scam.

Ezekiel J. Walker is a writer out of Durham NC who mainly writes about issues relating to African American culture. In 2011, Ezekiel released his first book, Reminiscent of a Familiar Face, which he loved writing and promoting, but more than likely, it's a book that people have never heard of. At the time the book was released, the writer was unemployed, being laid off only three months before it was due out to the public. As a result of him being unemployed at the time, the marketing and promoting of the book suffered as Ezekiel wasn't able to travel, advertise, or market it effectively.

This project was two years in development and the entire team at 19image Productions has worked so hard to just get this far. Actors and crew donated their time and talents to get all of our demos made for one goal of making the feature film INFECTIOUS. This is that last stage before they get to the feature film. They need to make a short to submit out to film festivals and gain more exposure and hopefully reach out to distributors and/or investors. Movie making is not cheap or easy, which makes the final product worth all the struggles along the way. 19image Productions is funding this project with loans and personal investments. They want to make a film that everyone who loves the zombie genre will thoroughly enjoy. That is why they have launched their Kickstarter campaign. They want the fans of this genre and fans of their concept to help them make this project a success. Zombie movies are a dime a dozen. People have seen hundreds of them in movie stores and on digital Medias like Netflix and Hulu. Quality will set INFECTIOUS apart from all these movies. This short will detail what happens to the main characters the night before where the feature film picks up. State Trooper Mark Foster and his family are heading to the emergency shelter when they cross paths with one of the infected. Local police officer Sharon Brochier has a similar encounter at the scene of an accident, after a high speed chase. The main characters are about to find out that things have gone past the point of containing the outbreak and that there is more to the infection then once thought. The initial funding target for this project is $15,000. However, 19image Productions would love to get as close to $35,000.00 as they can to reach their stretch goal.

Nurses are at a high risk for developing debilitating back and musculoskeletal injuries while caring for their patients. Repeated lifting, transferring and repositioning patients are some of the common tasks that lead to injury. When a nurse is not lifting and repositioning his or her patients, they are leaning over them to provide care or sitting at a desk looking down at paperwork or a computer which also causes strain on their neck.
