Between Us is an independent feature film written and produced by Kentucky-based filmmaker Chris Easterly. Based on the inspirational memoir Hope for Brokenness by Christa J. Valentine, it’s a true story about faith, mental illness, and unfailing love. 

The story: When a young woman pursuing music at Juilliard is contacted by the mother who abandoned her years ago, both are launched on a journey that will change them forever.

For nearly two decades, I’ve written for film and TV, and produced independent movies. I have several scripts in development. I love all my projects, but Between Us holds a special importance for me. 

I’m a person of faith, and I’ve also suffered from depression. This is a story of how we get through the dark times, experience the healing and reconciliation we long for, and how hope is always a possibility. 

The film will be shot in my home state of Kentucky, utilizing the state’s growing base of industry professionals alongside key positions filled by Los Angeles-based filmmakers.

Many talented people have already come together to get the ball rolling and make a concept trailer, which you can watch above.

The film’s budget is $300,000. 

But what we’re seeking now is $3,000. 

This will cover the cost of establishing the production’s LLC, creating a revised budget and shooting schedule, and paying our casting director so we can secure actors. The rest of the budget will be raised through equity investors. But it starts here!

Making a movie takes a family. We’re asking you to join our filmmaking family and help us bring this story into the world. 

Thanks for helping us out by giving, and sharing the word about the project!
