A Film For This Community

This project is being built with a clear mission:

Keep it local. Keep it real.

We are committed to:

• Filming in Hometown and nearby communities
• Hiring local cast and crew from the Chicago area
• Partnering with local restaurants and businesses
• Bringing real economic activity back into the neighborhood

This isn’t just where the story takes place. It’s where it belongs.

Community Sponsorship Opportunities

We’ve created simple, flexible ways for local businesses and organizations to be part of the film:

$1000 - Local Partner

Website and social media recognition during pre-production, personalized thank-you from our cast & crew.

$2500 - Production Partner

All of the above, plus behind-the-scenes pics, videos, updates during filming.

$500 - Community Supporter

Recognition on our website and social media during pre-production.

All of the above, plus a “Special Thanks” in the official film end credits.

$5000 or more - Community Sponsor

Local Impact

We are planning a 20+ day shoot right here in the area.

For many partners, this isn’t just support, it’s real business coming back through production.

• Catering orders from local restaurants

• Hiring local crew and background talent

• Location fees paid to local businesses

• Daily production spending in the community
