🎬 Crowdfunding Campaign: The Luckiest Man in the West
“He crossed the border for a better life… and met his ultimate challenge in a 7-year-old girl with a lemonade stand.”

🍋 Why This Story?
I’m making The Luckiest Man in the West because I believe in stories that mix humor with heart—and because sometimes, the biggest battles don’t look like what you expect. As an immigrant myself, I’ve crossed more than borders. I’ve faced systems, silence, and survival. But what if the first real challenge after risking it all… was buying a cup of lemonade from the strictest little girl in America?
This short film is a comedy with soul. It’s about power, perception, and the wild, weird ways fate works. It’s a story about who gets to say “yes” and who has to beg for it. And somehow, it’s also really funny.

🎥 About the Film
Our hero is undocumented, exhausted, and parched. He’s survived the desert. He’s made it to America. Now, he just wants a sip of lemonade. But the only stand in sight is run by a no-nonsense 7-year-old CEO who knows her worth, enforces her rules, and doesn’t give discounts for desperation.
It’s satire. It’s heart. It’s one man, one dream, and one terrifyingly principled child.
