The biggest question I get is "When are you releasing Batey Girl" - which is a fair question I should answer. The catch is, I haven't known how to answer at all.

Anyone who has been with me long enough to remember the release of World Peace and Other 4th Grade Achievements will understand. The design of that release was to bring people together, open hearts, and produce action and community from within that envelope.

Batey Girl has always followed the same design. This little girl plucked me from "my path" and introduced me to a world that is not my own. In the real world, our paths are all one. In the real world, my only greatness comes from participating in the greatness of the whole. In the real world, my excessive comfort is never worth a single child being exploited.

Yes I explored digital distribution. Yes I explored turning it into a series. But no. This story is too important.

We will release this film when people can come together around it. That is its design and power. Thanks for understanding! Feel free to throw tomatoes or flowers. And yes we are still alive at http://www.worldchangingfilms.com.

This was a wonderful surprise that added up quickly. Thank you so much to those who responded to and shared our invitation.

This keeps going next week! If you're just seeing this for the first time, we had to close our cafe before opening it, and we're shipping awesome coffee out to anyone who makes a donation of $20 or more at www.worldchangingfilms.com.

This week everyone who responded got 2x their oder (secrets out!), a dragon from Stella and a gift from one of our partners in the field.

Just tell us in the comments if you want the Guatemala, Ethiopia, Brazil or Columbia. We also have espresso and tea going out. DM or ask here with any questions.

Thank you for tuning in and bringing us all closer together during this time.

We’ve decided to take a little bit more time to get this right... coming soon!

Friends... we're a bit deeper in the dirt than we expected to be at this point in the year, creating a backlog for prescreening interviews and getting back to folks. Stand by! Followups coming and we're quite inspired by every single one of you...

For those of you on the edge of your seat... take a breath!

"Batey Girl" still needs work before we can put it into distribution.

We haven't shared much of the challenges in completing a story that doesn't stop, but when our star disappeared, we had no choice but to change the story to advance the film. In truth, what we've had to do is create a second film - one that we believe will blow your mind and heal your heart. Its basically cooked, but post-production can be a lengthy process. Thanks for your patience.

And with that, we do have a firm premiere: March 6 2020! DC and Orlando are the first to bite...

Hey !

A welcome from Ian and our newest shooter;).

After years of filming on the road, Films is setting up shop at 8 London Rd in Biltmore Village. At the moment, its a buildout mess!

But in less than 30 days, the 4,500+ sq feet complex will include over 2K sq ft of sound stage (expandable), a state-of-the-art podcasting studio, a fully vegan coffeehouse and a fair trade marketplace that supports trafficking response organizations around the world.

We'll be soft opening in early December, but send us a note if you'd like to schedule a private walk-through.

Through December 31st, we're cutting our day rate by 75% to attract new nonprofits and humanitarians operating in Western North Carolina.

In January, we will offer film grants through our partners as well.

Ian Bryan is on the road for again! Schedule so far has house meetings in Atlanta (18-19), then Chicago (21-23), then back to Asheville before 3 days in Memphis (Nov 1-3) again.

Anyone willing to host Ian and company (businesses, homes, churches, schools), send a DM and he'd love to hear from you.

Anyone on our route that would rather hire us to create a film (and apply proceeds to the work) instead of donating - just ask! Most small businesses and organizations have immediate filming needs (interviews, training, promos, social media etc). They tend to put them off because actually filming is a hassle. Just link up and we'll de-hassle it.
