Investment & Tax-Deductible

The Loquat Tree has partnered with AFS – Armenian Film Society, a registered nonprofit organization, through a Fiscal Sponsorship, allowing supporters to make tax-deductible contributions toward the film’s production. This partnership offers donors a meaningful way to support the project while benefiting from nonprofit tax advantages. If you’re interested in contributing through this route, please click the link below to begin the tax-deductible donation process.

Crowdfunding & Community Support

In addition to our fiscal sponsorship option, The Loquat Tree is launching a crowdfunding campaign to invite the community into the heart of the project. Every contribution—large or small—helps the film take another step forward, and each donor receives a unique incentive specially created for this campaign. From Arev’s hand-painted loquat pots to on-screen cameos, set visits, producer credits, and more, these rewards are our way of thanking you for helping this story come to life. To explore all available incentives and make a contribution, please check our incentives below and join us on this journey.

Pot and shout!

Your Door in the Film

Have the front door of your house or business appear as one of the delivery locations in The Loquat Tree.
We’ll film your entryway as part of the father’s route — a subtle, meaningful way to have your home become part of the story’s world.
Note: Location must be located within Los Angeles County. No on-camera appearance required.

$300

Private Zoom Q&A with Director

Join a 30-minute small-group Q&A about the film’s themes, production approach, and the making of “Kind Cinema.” This will be a great opportunity to learn about producing a budget project, efficient filmmaking, resource finding, going from script to set and the concept of the Kind Cinema. (Ideal for film students, aspiring filmmakers and first time feature film directors.)

On-Screen Appearance

Be part of the film in the most natural way possible.
You or a family member will appear briefly as someone receiving a package at the door — no lines, no acting pressure, just a simple, authentic moment.
Perfect for adults or kids who want to “be in a movie” without performing.
Note: Must be available for a short shoot within LA County for half a day.

$700

Small Speaking Moment

A simple, memorable on-camera moment:
When the father delivers your package, you’ll say a short line such as “Thanks,” - “Be careful, it’s fragile.” - “Have a good day,” “Finally…,” or “Appreciate it.” A gentle, easy cameo — no acting experience needed.
Note: Must be available for a short shoot within LA County for half a day.

$1000

Character Cameo (Space Limited)

Step a little deeper into the story.
