00:00Hi, I'm Alisha Buh and this is my co-author Jesse. We believe that stories can change history
00:15and film is one of the most powerful tools we have to reach a generation with the gospel.
00:20In 2014, after shelving our publishing dreams, I was fasting and praying during a painful family
00:30trial when I tuned into an online church meeting, desperate for a word from God. As I turned it on,
00:37the speaker was saying God was raising up screenwriters and producers to create films
00:42that would capture a generation for the gospel. In that moment, I felt like God was saying,
00:47this is what I have for you. He was urging me to trust him with my family and pursue writing for
00:53his glory. For years, I pondered that word in my heart as I kept writing. Now, 10 years later,
01:01having published our book series, Jesse and I believe it's time to take a leap of faith into
01:06the realm of filmmaking with our latest creation, Ripple. Ripple is a timely story that carries a
01:12raw message of hope to a hurting world. The main character of Ripple, Danny McMillan,
01:18is an aspiring musician who has made huge mistakes, leading to broken hearts and an estrangement from
01:24his son. Steeped in regret and despair, Danny decides to take his own life. His attempted suicide
01:31leads to a divine encounter that gives him a glimmer of hope, a mysterious white stone with a hidden name
01:38and a new path to follow, leading him towards reclaiming a relationship with his son.
01:44As Danny's journey unfolds, it intertwines with other complex individuals. People like Micah,
01:49an unlikely street preacher with a tragic past now dealing with his own addiction. Naomi,
01:55a struggling single mother who desperately needs to catch a break. And Vincent, a rejected bar owner,
02:01battling his demons. The multi-layered story arc explores the complexities of the human condition
02:07and how God can heal our identity and set us on a new path to make a difference
02:13in the lives of those around us, where every choice ripples into eternity.
02:19To launch this feature film, we first need to make a compelling short film to attract investors.
02:25To cover the cost of producing, set design, cast, and other fees, we need to raise a total of $15,000.
02:32To incentivize your investment in this project and to say thank you, all backers during this round
02:38will receive a range of exclusive rewards and gifts. Thank you for partnering with us to bring
02:44this film to wife for his glory.
