We continue to be pleased with the success of our first feature documentary Dear Francis.  This coming Saturday, March 28 at 12:30pm, the documentary will be screened at the Attic Film Fest in Austin, TX.  The film festival will be held at Grace Covenant Church.  Click here for Directions.

Dear Francis focuses on the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the African Kingdom of Swaziland, the world’s most HIV-infected nation as told through the eyes of two Texas college students.  The film recently aired on Showtime Television and has won several awards.

We are thrilled for the opportunity to screen the film at the Attic Film Fest.  The film festival is produced by the Grace Arts Project whose mission is to help educate, support, and empower Christian performance and visual artists of all ages in a Christ-centered learning environment. The purpose being so they can deliver Christ’s message through the tools of their art.

In the midst of a Tsunami of families facing hardship, precious single moms and their children are escaping the mean streets of Skid Row and finding refuge at Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens Family Center. It’s a place where single moms can exchange fear for hope and the opportunity for a new life in a safe, caring environment.

To help tell the story of this process, we produced a short documentary that follows Beatriz, a young single mother, as she transitions both physically and emotionally into her new home. This is a short in the ongoing “Stories from Skid Row” series that we do for LA’s Union Rescue MIssion.
