Story
Mission Statement
We are a FEMALE driven creative team (Writer, Producers, Lead Actress, PA's, Makeup Artist), and passionate artists all with different voices, coming together. Our films shine light on bringing awareness to pertinent matters that our society is dealing with today.About The Project
SYNOPSIS:
WITHIN REACH is a film about a plucky young woman redefining her ideas of what truly makes her fulfilled, when she's only known external validation.
The film brings us into the world of two best friends, Olivia & Dave, who have known each other for quite a long time. They are reunited after a year of Dave being away for his job.
At the core of the story, we follow the struggle for Olivia to find love with a man who reveals his true self from the very beginning, rather than the mask he believes will win her over. At her seeing Dave again, memories flood back of their times together. Maybe he is her true love after all, but is losing their friendship worth her confession.

We have a dynamic production team with our Co-Director/Writer/Producer/Lead Actress: Heather Fusari, Co-Director: Jake Green, and Cinematographer: Blake Studwell.Badb Films strives to bring films to audiences collaborative and dimensional stories that elicit awareness to current affairs, all while creating a platform for female artists to share their authentic voice.

DAN THORP ~ 'DAVE'
"If this is all you ever knew of me, then you basically knew everything"
For those that don’t know,
Its the grape that grows,
It leaves time froze
For the man upstairs to compose.
Strike one then HOMERUN!
Feeding a human was never so fun!
Toss it across,
Im game, set, match and done.
And now the exit commences,
To ask for the number is reckless,
Will i forgive myself?
No, so take your chances.

BILL BARRETT ~ 'GREG'
My name is Bill Barrett and I’ve been acting for 3.5 years. I’m mainly involved in film and tv, however I really enjoy performing improv as well. The reason I love to act is because of the impact that storytelling as well as characters can have on others. I relate emotionally and I have since I was a child. I grew up being inspired mainly from films and tv so I understand the beauty of being able to have an affect on other people.

BARKLEY HARPER ~ 'ERIN'
Barkley Harper, born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia, after signing with top agency, People Store.
Prior to her move, she performed in Off-Broadway musicals in New York City, while studying privately with the legendary acting coach, Susan Batson, who says Barkley is, “on her way to becoming a household name.” With her effervescent demeanor, Barkley has impressed directors and producers alike with her uncanny ability to portray raw and edgy characters in both comedy and drama.
In the past year and half, she has amassed over a dozen credits, one of which, THE QUIET ROOM, was awarded “Best Short” at both Nevermore and Midsummer Scream Film Festivals.Link: IMDB
