Our Story

It started as an outreach project, and transformed into a quest to find what was missing in the Human Condition. We interviewed who we believe to be, the worlds greatest LOVeRS, and captured everything on camera.  In following this Spirit-Guided mission, we discovered the POWER in seeing one another. We have captured real life, real people, and real events that tell a story everyone can relate to. Our mission is 'To turn ripples of passion into waves of purpose that transform human existence into radiance through inspiring freedom, evoking introspection and creating connections.' Our goal is to help people free themselves from the silent vows that keep them disconnected (from ourselves & others).This movie is tangible freedom!!

 

Why are We Unique


First of all, we are NOT schooled film makers. However, when we were 'given' this mission, the filming part seemed obvious. In the past 9 months, through a lot of trial and error, we have become grassroots, self-taught, spirit driven indie film makers!

Secondly, WE (Krysten & Ann) are the film makers, the producers, the editors, the interviewers, the directors, the narrators, and part of the cast.  We are a 2 woman crew!

Third, this movement is not exclusive to filming and producing a documentary.  We also hold workshops that are directly related to the life lessons we have caught on film. These workshops have supported all of our docu-endeavors up to this point.

This process behind the scenes is as powerful as what we have captured on camera... this project proves that ONE person CAN make a difference, that ONE idea CAN spark a movement, and that lack of 'skill' doesn't mean you can't make a difference, & that, you already have everything you need, and people are waiting for YOUR unique gift!

Fourth, this is not an 'all or nothing' type project.  Although it is the goal for this fund raiser, the documentary is only a part of the MOVEMENT.  The 'work' we (& YOU) have done is what has changed lives. The purpose of the doc is to bring awareness.

Fifth, WE LOVe YOU!!!


What is the Impact

This project/documentary has already made an impact in our community, and we want to extend the greatness to the WORLD!! ONe TRUe LOVe creates connections, gives people an opportunity to explore their greatness, and is a catalyst for change. Through depicting real life feelings, experiences, emotions, hardships, and victories, this film gives people something to relate to...something to rely on. This documentary excites inspiration-to BE THE CHANGE ONE WISHES TO SEE!

This is what people have been saying:


"You bring bring about the most loving sense of community for me. How to truly LOVe, appreciate, and support EVERYONE in the world. Not just with monetary support, but with the way we look at one another and the thoughts we choose to have about each other. " :)  ~Jerica Smythe

Loving, accepting, honoring, encouraging, acknowledging and engaging people's very soul . Taking a stand for that everyone counts, everyone matters and everyone is beautiful and has gifts. You SEE people. And encourage others to do the same. You are the space of total and complete unconditional love. And wanting to create a space where no one is left out and our world works for everyone ? You remind me that we are all related to each other, we are all ONe LOve, one human race who are intrinsically connected at a soul level. ? ? ? ~Amy Levine

Never DOUBT that a small group of thoughtful, committed people CAN change the world.
~DonnaJean Tompkins


Showing and encouraging just one person that they are LOVed and RESpected, no matter their circumstances, can be especially fulfilling to both parties. ONe TRUe LOVe is a group of people who's LOVe goes out to everyone, opening doors and eyes to the world beyond the rose colored glasses we often hide behind. Thank you OTL for the love, respect and encouragement to help one person at a time. ~Anette Madsen

Ann and Krysten, I have to say how touched I am with what you are doing. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Blessed! ~Cirra Turpin

I am blown away with what you are doing....Blessings to you for your passion for this project and ALL the souls who will be touched by it. : ) ~KC Miller


You two are a force to be reckoned with.....propelled by Divine Love! ~Deb Pierson


I love you guys!!! There is talking and there is being and doing. It is great and a blessing to find all three wrapped up in you two beautiful human beings!   ~Charlie Moore



What Happens If Our Project Is Not Funded?

 
Well, we KNOW that this is a message for the world, AND if for some reason we do not raise the exact amount we are aspiring via IndieGoGO, we WILL WORK WITHIN whatever comes!  We have FULL CONFIDENCE that we will receive the exact support we need to complete this mission!


What We Need

Living Expenses: $12,000

This will cover 6 months of bills and groceries so that we can dedicate all of our time to the project. 3 months for editing and 3 months to begin our promotion of the documentary on the road. This is like 'hiring' a crew...we can raise money to hire a crew, or we can do it ourselves! Will you HIRE us?

Travel  $5,000
This will cover plane tickets, bus tickets, car rental while we promote the documentary.

Marketing: $2,500

This will cover fliers, posters, venue rental, advertising.

        

Products and Equipment: $2,000

This will cover the cost of printing more t-shirts, magnets, stickers and hoodies to raise more money to support the project. As well as cover costs for needed equipment items like a bigger hard drive for file storage (that is the first thing we need!)


Fees:  $860

Running a campaign to raise funds comes with the fees involved to do so. This is the 4% IndieGoGo charges for use of service.

How We Have ALREADY Been Supported


Marketing:

*We have a venue at The Southwest Institute of Healing Arts for a screening AND they featured one of our YouTube video's on their blog. They also sent out an E-Blast you can read HERE, promoting their sponsorship of OTL.

*We have a LOYAL team of supporters who are ALWAYS spreading the LOVe, word-of-mouth-style!

*We had an AMAZING proposal sent on our behalf that scored us a 5 minute preview at this year's Celebrate Your Life Conference where we presented in front of 1800 people!!


Living Expenses:

*During our 'editing weekends' one of our biggest supporters has cooked us dinner AND gone grocery shopping for us (as a surprise to us!) 

*Our neighbor has donated her Internet services to us for the past 6 months so that our funds could go directly to our project.


Travel:

*We have several friends and family across the U.S. and in Australia who have offered us a couch to sleep on during our Nation-Wide (hopefully WORLD-WIDE!) promotion stage. This helps us avoid unnecessary hotel fees!

*We had an anonymous surprise donation of $600 to support our trip to Florida AFTER we purchased tickets. This is where we met Father Nathan (please see our YOUTUBE video for more info!)

        

Products:

*We have had people donate their time to help us create product to sell in support of OTL

*We had an organization LOAN us $500 to purchase shirts to get us started!!


Technical:

*We have had an offer to edit sound for the final cut in exchange for a name in the credits!

*We have had local musicians donate tracks, and write songs specifically for us!! (and we hope to create a soundtrack in the future for these awesome artists!)

*We have had a local photographer offer his gifts if we ever need them!!

*We have had a local graphic artist offer his gifts in any way the project needs!


Fund Raising:

We have had people host events in support of the project. ALL of the proceeds were donated to OTL!


This is all support and LOVe that the CREATION process of the project has generated. We have had the opportunity to show a few 4-12 minute previews, but this has all been a direct impact of the MOVEMENT alone! This is HOW we KNOW our message is BIG!
