As with all things in independent filmmaking, it all comes down to the money. The sooner we raise the funds, the sooner we can finish. We are committed to finishing it as quickly as possible given our resources, and we would love to finish it by the end of 2026.

As we shift from filming to post-production, we are exploring distribution opportunities. We promise you several local screenings, and hope to be included in festivals and on streaming services, too. 

We are producing the film independently, and are using a mix of private financing, grants, and community support through donations.

Our next critical step will be fundraising for post-production. We’re actively looking for Executive Producers to contribute funds, make introductions, and help us fully fund this film. If you know anyone who might be interested in investing in our film and joining our team, please let us know!

We’ve interviewed 27 incredible people so far - with more to come!
