We’re excited to be awarded ’s grant for our latest project, ‘It’s Not You, It’s Me!’ These funds will help us move into the post-production process so that we can complete the series and share it with the world!!

And the nominations are in, leaving us truly speechless…cuz we swear…when God speaks it, you can take His Word ALLLL the way to the bank! But before we share more… a little gratitude first.

People keep saying that is the one film that will NEVER DIE! 😂 And that’s all thanks to the ever life-changing hand and power of God. In 2016, we were truly trying to force, what we thought was going to be, our first feature film into production. But God slowed us down, redirected our focus, and presented Thicker Than Blood (complete with ALL resources on the table). He not only promised that, if we surrendered our plan for His, that this film would not only launch and carry our company for years to come, but that it would touch and change lives for generations to come. So came making the conscious choice that if He was trusting us with such a thing, we could surrender and trust that He’d make good on every word He promised. And even today, the evidence of that promise is still very much alive.

Now we’re following the same prompting down a new path with our other projects: “Heartstrings” and “It’s Not You, It’s Me”.

We’re no more special than anyone else. If He can do it for us, he can do it for you. But are you willing to do it His way rather than yours?

Thank you to the World Music & Independent Film Festival for the tremendous honor and recognition of our work and what we do! We look forward to seeing and celebrating great film work with you in 2025!

Wow! We are just elated to share that the trailer for our latest proof-of-concept project is an Official Selection to screen at the Creation International Film Festival in Los Angeles!

“It’s Not You, It’s Me” follows three bachelors as they re-embark into the dating scene, some for the first time and others hopefully for their last! While receiving expert guidance on healthy relationships, s*x, and vulnerability, modern q***r dating will be tossed aside for personal growth while attending individual and group therapy sessions. Along their journeys, they’ll receive tools to help unpack baggage and trauma from previous relationships so that they don’t take them into the new ones they’re beginning to build.

More deets to come!
