EntSun News/10773898
Proceeds From the Film Will Go to the Lupus Foundation of America
LOS ANGELES - April 23, 2019 - EntSun -- (Los Angeles, CA) – Actor, writer and producer Kazy Tauginas is releasing today his award-winning short film Standing Eight on Amazon, with proceeds from the downloads and sales going to the Lupus Foundation of America.
Standing Eightis about a boxer who is forced to retire and contend with life outside of the ring after being diagnosed with systemic lupus. Tauginas drew inspiration from his days as a Golden Gloves boxer and from his mother's real life struggles with the disease for more than 40 years.
"This was a labor of love," Tauginas said about producing the short, "through and through. My inspiration came from my mother, who has been fighting Systemic Lupus Nephritis since before I was born. Lupus affects millions of people around the globe, yet so few people even know what the disease actually does to the body."
