***********************************

Synopsis: The lives of two opposing jurors collide when deliberating on a trial involving a life-saving treatment for a queer woman of color. Their destinies unravel to reveal they're inextricably intertwined. Are love and justice blind?

Our feature film is a meaningful, entertaining and heartfelt social justice film. A combination of “You’ve Got Mail” meets “The Verdict."

***********************************

Genres: Romantic Comedy, Drama, Courtroom, LGBTQ+, Feel-Good, Banter.
 
UPDATE: We're excited to announce we completed production on our female-led feature film in Sonoma County and the Bay Area in August 2024; and now raising funds to cover production and post production to cross the finish line!
 
Our cinematographer is the multiple award-winning Lisa Stoll, who collaborated with us on our prior film now on Prime Video (scroll down page). See pictures below of some of our wonderful cast and crew behind the scenes before and during production!
 

 
We have authentically cast roles for minority representation for key characters including actors who are deaf, Native American and Latino. Additionally, those in the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Diversity, gender equity and inclusion are also vital aspects of our film behind and in front of the camera.

This film is led by Bay Area filmmaker, writer, director and producer C.M. Conway (please see below), featured in numerous media outlets. Her aim is to entertain while revealing a story about trying to find one's humanity in a sea of influences; and shining a light on the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. According the the Human Rights Campaign, over 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law, and 500 bills have been introduced in the U.S. in 2023.

If your organization serves the LGBTQ+ community and would like to partner with us and receive a portion of our fundraising, please fill out our LGBTQ+ Organization Form.

Uplift the stories of minorities and an indie film that is a champion of diversity, gender equity and inclusiveness.
