Mission Statement
The Story
We are a group of film producers, directors, actors, and more, working on a compelling and emotional piece to showcase the life of a military veteran. We aim to bring light to the emotional and mental struggles that are present in so many of our military, and especially those struggles that are rarely revealed. We dive into the life of a vet who is battling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a force of deep intensity, that most would never know existed.
We are a group of ordinary people using the tools we have been given to do something great. We are actors, producers, directors, and more. Our short film is a compelling and emotional piece taking you through the everyday life of a man. Diving into his day, we learn that what we see on the outside doesn't always reveal what is going on inside. For anyone struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, this film can be the voice they need to express what is happening to them.
PTSD is a force of deep intensity, an emotional and mental struggle that most would never know existed. We are going to change that!
We are beginning this project mid February 2020 and we hope to have everything filmed and produced by the end of March! We have jumped in full force with the planning stages of our film, cleared our schedules, and are giving this our all! This project is something that means so much to us that we have made it our top priority in order to give it the attention it deserves.
As we dive head first into our project, we have HUGE aspirations for this film. We are planning a major red carpet premier in Bristol, Tennessee to showcase our film on the big screen! Then, we are already setting our goals on future film festivals to spread the word about our film and showcase it to the public. We also have even bigger goals to be a feature film one day and to really make a difference for people struggling with battles such as PTSD and other mental health issues.
