Bakery Films is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of Bakery Films must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

What Bakery Films has:


  • Management of a gifted screenwriter for whom we've been able to consistently get work. She has already sold one script to an indie prodco on the east coast.
  • Options on two more of her screenplays, both of which have been well-received
  • Control over two beautiful book properties
  • A foothold in the cutting-edge world of virtual animation: merging virtual and real life audiences to maximize profile and marketability of both. Creating virtual television series for virtual network. Shows funded by ad time bought by creators of both virtual and real world products. Helping artists and indie film-makers expand their reach through virtual art shows and film trailers.

Our contacts include:

  • Agents and managers on both coasts
  • Relationships with 3 award-winning indie directors, all of whom will read what I send them
  • Production execs who will take my calls (incl one who will arrange the 50 percent of financing on the back end for my one of my writer's scripts; another who works at the active production co of an A-List actor)
  • A member of an A-List writing and directing duo who has won multiple Oscars

What we need:


  • For 'I' to become 'we'
  • Strength...you could say BF is a band in need of a front man and behind the scenes helpers
  • Money....Three thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket for a project like this. But the money will allow  us get properly set up, keep the lights on for a time and make progress.

All (well, a little) about me:


Bakery Films is my baby, slowly built over four years; slowly because I started with zero experience and zero contacts; but more importantly very near zero strength. I have a neuroimmune condition which severely limits my ability to function. Despite obstacles created by mi vida loca (the past four years have brought; increased health problems, six moves and their attendant stress and insanity, loss of loved ones and (certified) crazy roommates); from my bed, using a phone, a computer, internet connection and (clearly) massive doses of divine beneficence, I'm in the process of creating something extraordinary, even if I do say it myself.

(Ad)venture Philanthropy:

BF has a philanthropic mission. Our first goal is to create a stable company, our next to create artists. By helping artists make a good living and getting good talent the attention it deserves; BF would like to help make the notion that 'writing/painting/acting/etc, is nice and all, but you can't make a living at it', a thing of the past. In addition BF would help struggling artists through lean times and to provide opportunities for creative people with regular lives to make space for artistic expression or even careers


Other Ways You Can Help:

Make some noise! I understand time and money are limited. Something as simple as 'favoriting' us will have an enormous impact. Share us on Facebook and Twitter.
