About
Who I Am
My name is Maddie Zavarise. I am 22 years old and in my last semester of the Bachelor of Digital Communications program at Humber College.
This is my thesis project that will continue even after I graduate.
My Story
Organ Donation saves lives. I learned that on March 22, 2023, when my mom received a kidney and liver transplant that saved her life. Ever since then, we have both volunteered within the transplant community to show how grateful we are for the selfless donor who saved her life!
Why
I have always had a passion for filmmaking and editing. When I was presented with my thesis project I knew I wanted to make a film. Due to the great impact that this topic has had on my life I wanted to bring awareness and spread the benefits and importance of organ donation and transplant. I believe that this topic needs to be talked about more, so here is my contribution!
What Now?
As I have met so many amazing people and heard so many amazing stories through the making of this documentary, it has turned into an ongoing docuseries. Stay tuned :)
