We are pleased and excited to welcome Producer and domestic violence Advocate Lyn Twyman to our Miranda team. Lyn will be stepping in as an Associate Producer on our film about Intimate Partner Abuse (IPA), as well as act as our Domestic Violence Consultant.

A survivor of domestic violence, Lyn founded Courage Network, an online community and resource center for those dealing with domestic violence, of all types, and to promote the gathering of current information from advocates and organizations Worldwide.

Courage Network promotes profiles, news, blogs, pictures, video and inspirational stories from the domestic violence community in an effort to reach those needing help for themselves or for a loved one. Courage Network provides resources and inspiration for victims, families, friends and those dealing with domestic violence in their personal lives.

The lantern will serve as the memorial in a garden that will be strategically cultivated and dedicated to homicide victims and survivors of domestic violence.

Backer #6: Krista May

Our indiegogo campaign for Kent Sutton's film project Miranda is still going strong. Miranda is about a woman who hides her abusive relationship from her friends and family (BASED ON A TRUE STORY).

Our 6th Backer is teacher, activist, and film festival founder Krista May!



Krista is no stranger to One Way or Another Productions. She heads the Red Wasp Film Festival, which gave Cookies & Cream its Texas premiere last October. The producers have often credited Red Wasp and other smaller festivals afterwards for pushing the momentum of the small film forward leading to its distribution deal.

Each year, Brazos Progressives presents the Red Wasp Film Festival (RWFF) in downtown Bryan, TX, that encourages and celebrates diversity in their community and beyond, assisting artists' interface with the public. The festival promotes individual and collective creativity and brings together people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. The RWFF is open to all filmmakers and especially encourages Texas filmmakers, including filmmakers in the Brazos Valley, to submit films. They are open for submissions as we speak! Submit now!

On behalf of One Way or Another Productions and the cast and crew of Miranda, we want to sincerely thank Krista for her contribution to the cause.

Brazos Progressives is a coalition of individuals, groups, and businesses working together to build progressive community in the Brazos Valley. Brazos Progressives empowers community through networking, encouragement of grassroots involvement, resource acquisition, and promotion of activities.
