The Perfect Sacrifice - A Film by Allen Temple's Own Tiffany Littlejohn
Help Tiffany & Her Team Complete This Important Work!
Writer/Director, Bay Area native, and Allen Temple's own Tiffany Littlejohn has envisioned this film for over ten years. At the age of eleven, she first heard the story of Emmett Till and was amazed by the strength displayed by his mother, Mamie Till-Bradley and equally appalled that she never saw justice for the brutal murder of her son. Tiffany made a vow to herself that she would one day make a film about the unsung heros of the 1950s so that their stories and incredible sacrifice will never be forgotten. Tiffany is currently a graduate student at New York Film Academy, Los Angeles and The Perfect Sacrifice is her thesis film. Click here to watch the trailer.
Join us in helping Tiffany to raise her finishing funds for this film! Click here to visit her Indiegogo page, where you can make a donation. Any gift great or small will assist Tiffany in raising the much needed and appreciated funds so that she, her production team, and her ensemble cast of fine actresses and actors may complete this film that needs to be seen!

Allen Temple is Styrofoam Free!
Effective June 1, Allen Temple became a Styrofoam free campus. For the safety of our members, visitors, and our environment, Styrofoam plates, cups, bowls, and carry-out containers are not permitted to be brought onto our campus. We are aware of the dangers associated with Styrofoam products, and have made a conscious decision to protect the health of our members and visitors as much as possible by adopting this policy, which eliminates these inexpensive drinking cups, food containers, and utensils that are hazardous to both our health and the environment. Scientific tests have shown when hot foods or liquids come into contact with Styrofoam, the Styrofoam starts to break down and causes toxins to be absorbed into the bloodstream and tissues. It is also not biodegradable, so it can take 500 years to decompose.
