"Planting Hope" - The Hubbard
House Project
Welcome to the Jacksonville
First Coast chapter of the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association's web
page for "Planting Hope".
"Planting Hope" is the short film
project that our chapter has agreed to produce for Hubbard House. Hubbard
House is a Non-Profit Organization that offers many different and wonderful
services to the victims of abuse, the children of those victims and the abuser.
The purpose of this short film is
to showcase these services in a dramatic way while demonstrating the cycle of
support and services.
This film will be screened at the
Hubbard House Annual Breakfast on October 7th, 2008. It is also our
intention to enter it into the Crystal Reels, and other film festivals.
If you or someone you know needs
help, you can contact Hubbard House at: 904-354-3114 or (800) 500-1119. To
learn more about Hubbard House, or to volunteer or help, go to:
www.hubbardhouse.org.
Updates:
We have completed principle
shooting of "Planting Hope" and are currently in post production with the
editing, musical score and graphic design.
The FMPTA-JFC and Hubbard House
would like to take a moment to thank all of the members and local professionals
who donated their time and services to the making of this film. We got
excellent performances from our cast and extras and this film is sure to be
great. To quote Diane Clark from Hubbard House, "This film will save
lives".
Production Pictures:
Here are some production pictures
taken during our filming. I would like to thank Sam Rooks Jr. of Retina
Photography for sending me some of his pictures. Any picture with a *SRJ*
at the end of the description was taken by him. There are 41 pictures so
if you have a slow connection give them time to load. I will break them
down by shoot day.
