We are proud to announce our new project, THE ESSENCE IS LOVE. This short film will be based on a true story about an experience that Terry Dobson, the first westerner to learn aikido, a Japanese martial art form, had one day on a subway in the Tokyo suburbs

This story promotes a message of love, compassion, and non-violence.

We hope to shoot Spring 2020, but in order to do that, we need your help. We need to raise our production budget of $156,000 by March 1, 2020 to move forward with what we feel is a project with a message desperately needed at this time.
