HELP US BRING NY TIMES BESTSELLING NOVEL 'THROUGH VIOLET EYES' TO LIFE!!

by Defiant Arc Entertainment

In a world in which there exist genetic rarities known as Violets -- the handful of violet-eyed individuals born to each generation with the power to commune with the dead -- a lonely widower experiments with the afterlife at the cost of his own soul.

 
 

 
Written, produced and directed by Black women – and endorsed by the TVE author! – this production is a fantastic opportunity for you to get in on the ground floor as we use this proof-of-concept to get the TVE universe picked up as a TV series. Not only are you supporting underrepresented voices, but you get a ton of cool perks for donating!!
 
100% of your donation is tax deductible through VIOLET's fiscal sponsor, From the Heart Productions, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit and 509(a)(2) charity that will be managing all donations on behalf of the film.
 
With your support, we will reach our goal of a $125,000 budget.
That figure ensures that our film will assume the quality, production value, acting talent and other elements that are representative of the sci-fi thrillers appearing on television today. 
 

 
Your support of the next generation of storytellers is greatly appreciated. None of this could be possible without you.
 
AND DON'T FORGET:
If you work at any of these companies, please submit your donation receipt to their corporate gift matching program and double your donation at no additional cost to you!!
