We finished Production!
Now on to Post!
The primary anti-human trafficking project we have been working on has just wrapped production. We have started cutting the film and hope to move on to color/grading in March! From there we will need to move to sound design and scoring the film.
ABOUT D.L.A.

THE MISSION
- To complete film projects for other worthy non-profits.
- The goal for 2014 and early 2015 is to partner with leading non-profits to create 3 projects that expose the evil of human trafficking.
- Each project will address a different aspect of human trafficking and each project will vary in length.
- Our hope is to have projects that range from 3 minutes to 20 minutes.
Project Specific Goals

• To bring to light the severity of modern day slavery in America.
• To educate the public on how to identify possible victims through three heartbreaking stories of captivity that intertwine throughout the film.
• To open the eyes of teens who are unaware of the dangers of reckless social networking. And give them a graphic example of what can happen if they incautiously provide intimate details about themselves with the open world.
• The film will be featured in the upcoming 2015 Set Free Tour to help bring awareness of the growing sex trafficking industry in America.
