WHY SUPPORT THIS PROJECT?
Unconventional filmmaking requires unconventional support. Been Here Stay Here is not a film that fits neatly into the mainstream market—it’s a deeply human, deeply hopeful project with a specific mission: to reach across one of the deepest divides in our society and spark real conversations about the climate crisis within faith-based communities. We’re working to screen this film in churches, community centers, and schools across the country, connecting with audiences who aren’t always included in the climate conversation. For this, we need your support.
WHERE WILL THE FUNDS GO?
We’ve made it this far—our World Premiere at IDFA was a tremendous success, and now we’re building momentum with upcoming screenings at DCEFF and the Annapolis Film Festival in March, with many more festivals on the horizon. The film is finished, and now the real work begins. We need to cover the remaining post-production costs and raise support for festival submissions, marketing, and most importantly, our impact campaign.
To bring this vision to life, we plan to hire an impact producer who will help us bring the film to new audiences and deepen the dialogue with Christian climate organizations across the country. This is a project that’s about more than a film—it’s about creating connection, building bridges, and expanding the ways we think about climate action.
YOUR SUPPORT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED AND IS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
All of your support will be channeled through our fiscal sponsor, the Maysles Documentary Center. They’re an incredible organization dedicated to fostering community and creativity through documentary film—something so beautifully aligned with the heart of this project. 5% of the proceeds will go toward supporting their work and covering the administrative costs of managing this process. The rest will go directly to supporting Been Here Stay Here—helping us bring the film to life and out into the world, where it can spark the conversations it’s meant to inspire.
Thanks for being a part of it all!
