About the Film
 

Synopsis: Mourning the recent loss of her husband, Natalie gives up her career as a concert pianist. She remains numb to her own dreams until an encounter with a beautiful stranger transforms her grief and reawakens her passion for life and music.

Screenplay and Director  - Renée Fisher
Starring - Elisabeth Lauren

What supporting this film means to us:
This story was inspired to find purpose going through difficulties and the trauma of unexpected loss. Pain is an inescapable component of life, therefore, we can discover the beauty concealed within us as we choose to see the remarkable joy of living. We believe that life is beautiful and that the human spirit may rise beyond all depths of suffering.

As filmmakers it means very much for us to create stories we are passionate about and inspire others. We hope this film will serve as a source of encouragement and solace for those who have suffered pain.

Please join us on this campaign to fund this independent film project
scheduled to shoot in June 2020 in Canada. We are teaming up with YWAM Dunham for this production. The anticipated release of the film is spring 2021.

This is what our funds will be used for:
Pre-production (start-up costs, insurance, locations, casting, etc.)            $3,500
Crew flights                                                                   $4,000     
Housing                                                                           $4,000 
Food                                                                                  $5,000 
Film equipment & other production expenses   $4,500
Cast & crew expenses                                             $8,000
Miscellaneous costs                                                 $1,000
Total: $30,000 USD

If we raise a minimum of $30,000 USD we can produce the film, but will still need to raise money for post-production expenses. Donations beyond $30,000 USD will help us to cover the expenses for post-production as well.


Post-production costs                                       $12,000
Film festivals, marketing + distribution      $3,000
Total: $45,000 USD

No contribution is too small or trivial! Every dollar helps us closer to our goal!
