Broken people have to be fixed before relationships are.
Director Notes
I wanted to write a story on how a family can be fixed after being broken for so long. I want to explore forgiveness. When I felt lead to actually film and direct this movie, I knew it couldn’t just be a personal project.
This had to be used for something bigger.
Using a contact at the Roanoke Rescue Mission, I talked about using this film as a fundraiser for their needs. Since 1948, the Rescue Mission has continued a tradition of caring for those in crisis. (http://rescuemission.net/) The Rescue Mission is a Christ-centered, grassroots organization offering programs to help people physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually.
The Rescue Mission works solely on funding provided by the community and fundraisers.
The plan for this film is not just a digital or DVD copy but instead to be shown in a local small theater with all the funds of the night going to help the rescues mission. A red carpet night. The works. After that, DVD copies will be sold at the Rescue Mission, with all the profit going to the Mission itself.
This is not only going to benefit the Rescue mission but the Message will hopefully benefit the community.
Although we're still discussing using the actual film as a fundraising night, know that all of the fundraising not used in this project will be given to the Rescue Mission. Not one cent will be held back. Even if the Rescue Mission decides to not use the project, they'll still benefit from this. That way, not matter what, you're donating to a great cause.
Once we start filming there will be a daily vlog on our YouTube channel, plus constant updates and snippets of what we're doing. So if you want, you can be with us the whole way.
What We Need
Film making is expensive. Just like the Rescue Mission waits to be provided for on a yearly, monthly, daily basis, this project is doing the same. Everything for this project will be raised. We have no doubt of our Provider.
From the Actors and crew as local community members to locations shots, Everything will be provided in due time. Because this is our team’s first project ever, we are relying on the kindness of friends, family, and strangers to provide the funds needed.
Any little bit is considered useful. If for some reason we do not raise our target goal, don’t worry. If we cannot work with the money that is provided for us, it will go straight to the Rescue Mission.
Other Ways You Can Help
Not everyone has money to give.

Support is the best thing we could ask for.
