Project Description

Studio 2.22 film productions focuses on creating content that inspires.

Our first short film, "Taneycomo" dealt with PTSD among our nations veterans and how the local community stood together with them, during the tough times.

Our first full feature film, "Not Too Far From Here" is a coming of age story of Lindsay, and how she copes in a positive way, with the impact of domestic violence in her life. 

There will be a sequel, "Broken Color" that follows the story of her friend Darian and how she learns to be a family, even though mom and dad are divorced.

The problem we have is that resources come in after the films are produced and distributed. Our goal is a 12 week theater run, then streaming platforms, and finally parking it on Parables.TV. We will stagger "Not Too Far From Here" and "Broken Color" so they can support one another at the box office.

We have a strong team to create a quality product to sell well in the market. So strong we have Hercules, Kevin Sorbo and his wife Sam at the helm.

2021 - STRONGER TOGETHER Premiere Event

End of October- First of November, we will be premiering the film in Eureka Springs, Ar. at a 4,000 seat Amphitheater located at The Great Passion Play property.  It will be a 3 day event that will include vendors, food trucks, access to their events on property, Red Carpet Premiere to meet the cast and crew from the production right before watching the film. A great opportunity for you to meet and network with like minded people and organizations.

One of the things victims voice is they believe there is not enough support to help them get back on their feet. We spent 2020 researching this and have found there are plenty of resources out there, but they are underfunded and limited on the number of people they can assist. We are going to be giving back to under-resourced communities, and help build Mary's House of Hope, near St. Louis, Mo. and a needed 4-plex near Branson, Mo. while sponsoring 10 other outreaches from coast to coast. You will be able to meet these organizations at the Premiere Event as well.

 

As backers of this project, you will:

 

  • Help be a voice to the voiceless
  • Help ensure we are ADA(American Disabilities Act) compliant and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant for international distribution.
  • Help us hire quality actors and actresses and crew, from different ethnic groups including First Nation, African American, Asian, Latino, Caucasian, 
  • Be the first to know who they are once contracts are signed.
  • Help keep things moving forward to hit our October 2021 premiere date
  • Be the first to know important details of how things are progressing including behind the scenes footage, premiere date ticket sales availability, etc.

 

You will be part of leaving a legacy of Hope to a new generation by:

 

  • Equipping them with knowledge and understanding of the warning signs, and if they heed them, stopping the violence in their lives. 
  • Supporting shelters that also provide - life skills training, counseling and job placement opportunities.
  • Helping victims become victorious because we all stood together to help heal their hearts and restore their human dignity.

 

All supporters of this project will have special admission privileges at the premiere, plus other benefits pending the package you choose. We look forward to partnering with you this year and being a strong voice that says "No More Domestic Violence" We are STRONGER TOGETHER!
