The Story
In the small town of Belle Lake, recent budget cuts threaten the adult continuing education program. Can they find a way to save the program before Christmas? Belle Lake is a tight knit community about one hour outside of the city. While the town may be small, it is filled with big hearts and overflowing with holiday spirit.
Noël the young home-ec teacher, dreams of leaving Belle Lake to pursue a career in fashion. But with a loss of funding, she is beginning to lose hope. When a new teacher joins the Belle Lake family, will she find new inspiration or will things continue to unravel?
Why a holiday film? Holiday films offer us some calm, comfort and escape from all the hustle and bustle of the season. Couldn't we all use a little respite right now? But making movies is expensive. A typical budget for a similar holiday feature film is between $1-3 million dollars. We are grateful to have such a dedicated and talented team.
Our BASELINE GOAL of $5k means we can go into production. A STRETCH GOAL of $15k allows for transportation, preferred locations, gear upgrades, and compensation for our cast and crew.
OUR TIMELINE:
JULY 2026- Seed & Spark Campaign
JULY-AUGUST 2026- Pre Production, secure gear and locations, casting, and creating costumes
SEP-DEC 2026- Principal Photography
JAN-JULY 2027- Post Production, editing, sound mix and color
FALL 2027 Film Release Yay! Time to share our creation!

Journey also has experience as the Production Designer on Glimpse (2025), Spyfall (2025), and Quality of Blues (2026).
