What is Leap of Faith?

Leap of Faith is a documentary film that will show three individuals pursuing their personal callings and rising above fear in the process. The subjects will include Tim, a professional actor who stutters, Jake, a transgendered male (not shown in trailer), and Ally, an anti-bullying advocate who is using her painful past in high school to help put an end to bullying.

Who is the team behind Leap of Faith?

Our creative team includes executive producer Sarah Ellis who has been performing and working in film and television for over ten years, director of photography Saul Martinez, a freelance photographer and videographer, director and editor Anna Quinlan, and sound engineer and composer Zach Landreneau.

Why are we producing Leap of Faith and what are we requesting?

According to an article published in The Guardian, the number one regret of the dying is wishing they'd had the courage to live the life that was true to themselves, not the life others expected of them. Our creative team believes this is because too many people give into fear and allow it to dictate their destiny. But what happens when people refuse to give into fear? Our goal is to reveal three individuals thriving in spite of going against the grain and facing opposition. We want to inspire audience members to take their own leap of faith and, in doing so, increase positivity in the world and decrease negativity that is directly linked to letting fear dictate one's life. In order to achieve this goal, we need money to fund things like:

• Equipment

• Food

• Transportation

• Insurance for film equipment

• Entrance fees for submitting Leap of Faith to film festivals 

Why a documentary?

The creative team behind Leap of Faith believes that the best way to achieve our goal is to show real people facing fear and embracing their destiny in the process. By showing how real life people avoid giving up and proving that they thrive in the midst of opposition, we will be able to encourage audience members to do the same thing.
