Invest in a Short Catholic Dramatic Film

Listen up, folks! Stan Williams here coming at you with a brand-new, exciting film project sure to touch hearts and move the soul. You know those classic kind of good-and-evil stories we rarely see anymore, set in the real world, about real people, but maybe a little different? Well, I've got one here that gets pretty intense, and - here's the best part - it's small scale enough that it won't break the budget.

So, what's it about? I'm glad you asked. Here's the scoop. Meet Sister Clare, a nun-in-training. You like nuns, right? Well, this one's a little too attached to, let's just say, the comforts of her convent. She's tasked by her Mother Superior to go shepherd a group of orphans in East Los Angeles - kind of a rough area, if you aren't familiar - for the night. Needless to say Sister Clare is a little out of her comfort zone here. What follows is not only a fish-out-of-water story, where Clare has to be a 'mother' of sorts (something she'd NEVER thought she'd be), but also a confrontation with the dangers of the real world, with Clare as the protector, when a gang war erupts outside. Through strength and will and that handy little thing called prayer, she and the children are able to make it through the night. Happy ending and hugs all around, but we were scared there for a bit.

It's a short movie with what I think is a really powerful message. And seriously, when was the last time you saw a movie with a nun* as the main character that wasn't all kinds of preachy? This film is fun and cute and has a lot of heart. At the end of the day it's about a young woman discovering that there's more than one way to make a difference in the world. I cry every time I read it.

I'd love it if you could help out. This film would only be about 30 minutes long, and there's serious upside if we can make it right and license it to streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime. But I need your help first! They won't even look at it until it's done. The budget? $164,000. Very doable!

If you'd like to get involved in this 5-day production, please contact me! We have the script, we just need the investment dollars.

* Why a nun? It just makes sense. Catholic nuns have been doing this kind of service work for centuries. They teach school, care for the homeless, and in this film's case, help a group of orphans get through a night during a gang war. It's an application of real world stories and people. And this one's a little different than what we're used to seeing, but hey, that's what makes it interesting, right?

And remember what Mother Theresa said, "You can do no great things, only small things with great love."
