We want to produce content—short films, audio fiction, or documentaries—every year. When you're meant to create, you should always be creating. And we don't want to create just any content. It's content that stirs your soul.We believe that you can't have a good story without great characters. Every short film and audio fiction series we produce focuses on character. We want you to laugh, cry, and scream with our characters. We want you to love them and sometimes loathe them. No matter how you feel, you should always care about them because a story filled with characters you care about is a story worth experiencing.

Chat
Chat is the kind of short film that happens when you're sheltering in place but also itching to be creative. I wanted to produce a film that didn't require anyone to leave home and would be ultra low budget, and this is what happened! Everything was as simple as I could make it, and I couldn't have asked for a better cast.It also seems that other people liked it! Chat was a Semi-Finalist at the Nashville Independent Filmmakers Festival and an Official Selection at the Shiny Sparkle Independent Online Film Festival in 2022.
Ashes
Ashes is a short film produced for the Nashville Film Festival's Inaugural Actor's Challenge. Faith, along with two other filmmakers, were given five actors at random and one month to produce a five-minute short film on a $500 budget. It was definitely challenging, but also a lot of fun.Ashes' world premiere was at The Nashville Film Festival in May 2018. It also won Best Short Film at the Shiny Sparkle Independent Online Film Festival, a Semi-Finalist at Los Angeles CineFest and Jelly Film Festival, and an official selection at Rendezvous Film Festival and HerStory Cinephilia Society.
Lunch with Parents
Lunch with Parents was a shoot that had to be planned down to the minute. The restaurant scenes were all shot in one day AND one of the actors had to leave for two hours. It was a long, long day, but at the end of it, that love for filmmaking was stronger than ever. Long days like those can drain your mind and your body, but when you still love what you're doing the next day, you keep on doing it.
Register
The budget was tiny. The shooting schedule was completely dictated by any free time Faith could make, resulting in a filming schedule that spanned five months. Each month was a new location (with one location shot in Orange County, California). Also, because of the crazy schedule, the crew for each location changed. Six different cinematographers shot each location.Different actors. Different places. Different tones. Yet they're all experiencing the same type of emotions.Register premiered at The Nashville Film Festival in April 2016, was an official selection at Wendy's Shorts, and won Best Score at The ArtLightenment Festival.
