Out of nearly 1000 entries, our documentary is 1 of 3 winners of the Screencraft Film Fund Grant!

We entered this competition last year and although we did not win, one of the judges loved the project so much, she generously backed it with her own money and invited us to re-submit this year!

Yay!

I love Los Angeles - I was born and raised here, and I’ll probably always live here. I have never seen devastation and heartbreak like I’ve seen in the past week. It’s unimaginable.  Like pretty much everyone else in L.A., I have several close friends who have lost everything. My heart goes out to those who are suffering, and my profound thanks goes out to all the helpers, including World Central Kitchen, Red Cross LA, LAFD Foundation, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Wildfire Recovery Fund, California Community Foundation Wildlife Recovery Fund, and of course all of our incredibly brave firefighters (shoutout to Canada and Mexico for being good neighbors).  To all my fellow Angelenos, please stay safe and keep your chins up - we’ll get through this.
