Our Next Project



We are proud to announce our next project, the feature-length directorial debut of director Kent Sutton, the man behind the short film version of Miranda. We have begun a campaign on IndieGoGo.com for backers to help us make it into a feature film, to be shot on location in HD. Here is more about the project below:

ABOUT
A young woman hides an abusive relationship from her friends and family.

At the Anthology Film Archives in NYC on June 2, 2010 at the east coast premiere of “Uptown,” we unveiled a sneak peak of Kent Sutton’s intense, 11-minute short film “Miranda.” The audience reception was highly enthusiastic, the level of which we had not anticipated. This led us to immediately continue the development of the feature film version, which is based on the short film. The film will be shot using HD technology, on location in a soon-to-be-announced small town, along with some shooting taking place on location in NYC.

About the Problem:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found in a national survey that 34 percent of adults in the United States had witnessed a man beating his wife or girlfriend, and that 14 percent of women report that they have experienced violence from a husband or boyfriend.
