After months of planning and almost 2 weeks in the Missoula, Montana area filming Nearly Departed, we're back home! We will be forever thankful to the Montana Department of Commerce for supporting us!

Shooting a road trip movie required several large company moves. We had to pack up gear, people, and food and travel from a small-town store - to woods at night and at day - to a creek with a man who was fly fishing for hours - to an old bridge with wooden flooring - to a barn with sweet horses - to roads with spectacular views - and up a mountain along a narrow dirt road. It was a LOT of work...and we never could have done it without the determination and professionalism of our local crew.

Check out this article from the Clark Fork Valley Press & Mineral Independent. Their article about our Montana crew and the story we're telling appeared on the front page of one newspaper and on the inside pages of another.

Filming has taken place in Western Montana for a new short film backed by the prestigious Montana Big Sky Film Grant, bringing a 20-person crew primarily based in Missoula to shoot a heartfelt road trip drama from Sept. 23–26.

We celebrate Women’s Equality Day today,  and every day 💪🏼

We celebrate Women’s Equality Day today, and every day 💪🏼

Today on we celebrate women and the environments where they can thrive in all aspects of their lives. We recognize and honor the significant progress that has been made but are also reminded of unfinished business.

IDEAS FOR WHAT YOU CAN DO
- At work -- embrace communication strategies that inspire, educate, and empower by recognizing differences, providing fair opportunities, ensuring employees feel respected
- Support women-owned businesses
- Register to vote. Women and men fought for 72 years for women to win the right to vote. Honor their sacrifices by registering to vote.
- Host virtual screenings of documentaries or films that highlight women’s struggles and achievements
- Be part of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) at work. These groups are specifically focused on women’s advancement; providing community, mentorship opportunities, and a platform for women to share their experiences and challenges.
- Learn about women who have shaped history and helped make the world a better place

As we come together to celebrate and promote an equal world for women, it's important to remember that the push for full equality is not limited to a single day. It’s an ongoing effort that requires continuous commitment.

THANK YOU to our special guests and Table Read contest winners for joining us last night! LA-based actors read the lines of our 2 main characters while Ashley (director) read the lines for the Dad as well as the script stage directions.

Afterwards, we chatted with our special guests before closing the Zoom event and then heading into workshopping the dialogue. We do this prior to production because hearing the script out loud allows us to get a better sense for how the story will come to be.

Be sure to follow along with us on our journey as we bring Nearly Departed to the big screen!

Woohoo!
