The “Movie for Charity” Initiative
Lights, Camera, Action for a Cause: The “Movie for Charity” Initiative
The Mary K. Yap Foundation is thrilled to announce an exciting and innovative new venture in our ongoing efforts to uplift and advance Myanmar’s orphan community: the “Movie for Charity” program. This groundbreaking initiative represents a significant extension of our vibrant fundraising activities, demonstrating our commitment to creative and impactful ways of generating support. We are incredibly proud to be working in a landmark partnership with Mandalay Productions LLC on this pioneering project, which centers around their first-ever feature film. The net proceeds generated from this “Movie for Charity” program will directly benefit the advancement of orphaned children in Myanmar, providing resources for their education, health, and overall well-being.
A Collaborative Cinematic Endeavor with Global Standards
Our Board expresses tremendous appreciation for this unique collaboration, which allows us to work intimately with a highly creative and esteemed film and video production company. Mandalay Productions LLC, strategically based in both the United States and Myanmar, is renowned for its commitment to delivering and producing unrivaled films.
Their dedication to maintaining and providing the best international filmmaking practices aligns perfectly with our foundation’s pursuit of excellence in all endeavors. This partnership ensures that “Movie for Charity” is not merely a fundraising event, but also a showcase of artistic merit and a testament to cross-cultural cooperation.
“Myittar”: A Historic Blend of Talent and Culture
The highly anticipated feature film at the heart of this initiative, powerfully titled “Myittar” (meaning “loving-kindness” or “compassion” in Burmese), promises to be a unique and compelling cultural blend. It will proudly showcase the exceptional talents of well-known artists from Myanmar alongside emerging and established stars from the Burmese American acting community. This cinematic fusion is truly historic. Mandalay Productions LLC stands as the sole financial partner and producer of this monumental project – marking it as the first Burmese and American feature film ever to be filmed across both the United States and Myanmar (Burma). The Mary K. Yap Foundation takes enormous pride in vigorously promoting our worldwide non-profit initiative, championing the “Movie-for-Charity” project and its esteemed affiliation with Mandalay Productions LLC, as we believe it represents a new frontier in philanthropic engagement through art.
