Financing & Distribution Partners

02

Private Financing Partners

Discuss participation with partners whose interests align with the film and its proposed production plan.

03

Faith & Family Partners

Explore relationships with organizations and financing groups interested in Christian themes, family relationships, and second chances.

No distributor or release commitment is currently attached.
