7 on 10... um, what does that mean?


Mary, a former teacher and basketball coach has been sentenced to ten years in prison for committing vehicular manslaughter in an alcohol-induced blackout. She is put into a 9 x 12 cell with Nessy, a powerful ex-drug dealer and lifer in for murder in the second degree, working her way toward parole after serving her minimum fifteen years. 

Mary begins to navigate prison life, fighting her way through a rough group of African American women in order to play basketball, an attempt to escape the reality of her situation. Nessy buries herself in books, classes and the hope of eventual release. But these women have one thing in common; they have both taken a life and must come to terms with that reality especially if they hope to make it home.  Mary is a reminder to Nessy of the free world that awaits her while Nessy helps Mary face the alcoholism that threatens to keep her from returning to that world. 

Eventually a dangerous inmate from Nessy’s old life returns to prison and Mary finds herself caught in the web of Nessy’s complicated, dark history, and prison politics. The past becomes the present and forces them both to make choices that test their character, their friendship and what it means to be truly free. 

In the end, the story is not that of one woman but many, who have landed in a twisted up world that they must now share. It’s about their relationships, reliance on one another to survive and the ever present shadow of addiction that looms over all of them. It’s about freedom- the taking, the giving and how we may come to truly possess it.  

WHY THIS FILM IS DIFFERENT... we don't want to just make a great film. We also want to help the population the movie is about... NOW.

A main theme in 7 on 10 is how addiction/alcoholism plays a huge role in women going in and out of prison. Getting involved with 7 on 10 is more than making a feature film. Our goal is to empower and help the community we represent in the film by providing jobs, visibility and support for formerly incarcerated women through every phase of our production in partnership with our two incredible non-profit affiliates.

*****WE ARE DONATING 5% OF OUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN TO WOMEN FOR SOBRIETY CENTER, INC.*****
When we raise $10,000 we will DOUBLE our contribution!


"Women For Sobriety Center, Inc."
(AKA - Shirley's House)

Women For Sobriety Center, Inc. is a non-profit organization in LA which provides a structured, clean and sober transitional living home for women.  For over 20 years they have provided affordable housing and referral services to women and women with children who are recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. 

Check out the promo we shot with them as well!


We also support:
“A New Way of Life Reentry Project”: 

The organization was founded by Susan Burton a 2010 CNN Hero and 2012 Purpose Award winner for work with formerly incarcerated women.  A New Way of Life is a non-profit organization in South Central LA with a core mission to help women and girls break the cycle of entrapment in the criminal justice system and lead healthy and satisfying lives.  As a community advocate, A New Way of Life provides housing and support for reentry into life outside of prison for women and children.

We are extremely pleased and honored to be working with these two inspirational organizations.  

During the course of the campaign we will be releasing video interviews with some of the most interesting and inspiring women you could ever hope to meet. These are all formerly incarcerated women who have found their bridge back to life despite a very broken system. Their stories are amazing.  We will offer you the chance to talk to some of them one on one as well as the opportunity to further help our non-profit partner, Women For Sobriety Center Inc.

What do we need money for right now?

We currently are in the development stage of our feature film.  But in order to get our film fully financed, we need some help to offset our upfront costs.  We will also be donating 5% of the funds to Women For Sobriety Center Inc., and doubling that amount once we reach $10,000.

Our next goal would be to get to 20% of our budget, which we estimate to be around 150k. This would allow us to start making offers to great cast and open up more opportunities for matching funds and gap financing to complete our total budget and get this film made. 



We have been building a very strong team...some of whom we can't officially reveal yet.  But for now we can tell you about our key players!
