Film for Impact

Your Story has been rolling around in your head long enough. I believe that God has given you a story that will change lives and impact people for His Kingdom.

Registration is open - Program Begins October 2022

 
 

Question for you…

What if you could take that movie idea that’s been in your head for YEARS and create a real plan to produce your film and get your message to the masses so you can make the IMPACT you’ve been dreaming about?

Or let me rephrase that…

What if in 8 weeks you could learn the step by step process of making a movie and walk away with a real plan for funding and producing your film?

A film that finally will tell the story that’s been burning in your soul to share with others.

Because producing a movie is not just about the glitz and glam for you. It’s a tool to share a message of hope, inspiration and freedom to the masses.

If you want to learn how to create a film that will not just be entertaining but touches people’s hearts and inspires them to action keep reading…

Here’s the Problem…

You know that in order to produce your film and make an impact, you need a REAL plan.

However, you are still second guessing yourself and asking yourself questions like…

  • What is the process of making a film from start to finish?

  • How do I build a team?

  • How do I fund my film?

  • How do I cast my film?

  • How do plan a screening?

  • Where do I even start?

Can You Imagine?

Imagine sitting in a theater with your friends and family watching the story that has been in your head for so long. Now imagine someone coming up to you to tell you how much your story impacted them.

What would happen?

I’m guessing you would feel pretty amazing that your story could change someone’s life for the better. (‘cause that’s what good stories do!)

If you want to learn how to make an impactful film I have something for you….

Film for Impact

Introducing…

Here’s what others had to say about working with Dija, CEO/Founder of Blue House Entertainment

  • “Working with the Blue House was such a privilege. It is a unique, purpose-driven organization that is forging its own path. They value not only the results, but the process and the relationships as well”

    — Moriah Miller Creative Engagement Administrator, The Harrison Center for the Arts

  • “The ability to bring down stigma associated with mental illness is critical to those living in quiet despair. Through storytelling we can start the conversation. Dija is doing just that through her films.”

    -Mayor Scott Fadness, Fishers IN

  • The Blue House has been the "CornerStone" of Felege Hiywot Center. Through our partnership, we have seen the impact of creating a sustainable future through Plays, film camps, interviews and music.

    -Aster Bekele CEO/Founder of The Felege Hiywot Center

  • “After ten years of working in the mental health community, I often fantasize about creating great films that destigmatize mental health issues, educate and impact the community for the better. I no longer have to fantasize due to The Blue House films. .

    -Nathaniel McGuire, MFT and CEO/Founder of Empower Counseling, Coaching and Spiritual Direction. LLC

  • We've struggled for years to talk openly about these subjects, but watching "Love, Jordan" helped us to begin the conversation. This short film inspired a genuinely inter-generational, intercultural discussion about mental health.

    —Evan Bever Senior Pastor 1st Baptist Church

  • “Love, Jordan lowers all barriers to talking about suicide. It is for professionals and parents impacted by mental health challenges, which is for everyone. It opens up a conversation too often brushed aside out of fear.”

    -Ben Leslie, Interfaith Coalition for Mental Health Founding Member

Let’s break it down

  • Producing a film is like herding cats and having a baby. In this module we are going to learn about what the producer does and what you are going to do to get your film made. We are also going to set goals for your film so you can make the best choices for your project down the road.

  • Development is the first phase of filmmaking and can be the longest. But if done right your project will go smoothly…well smoother. Here we will learn about the pieces needed to package and fund your film as well as create your impact campaign for your film.

  • Here we will dive into the elements of story and building a budget so you know how much money you need for your film.

  • We will learn how to break down a script, build your production team as well as what kind of marketing assets you need to have in place at this stage.

  • What is it like on set? What is your job as the producer? What do you need to be working on? How do you get everyone to the finish line? Well we answer all those questions in this module!

  • Filmming may be done but the film isn’t done yet. Here we look the all that is needed to get your film ready for exhibition

  • In this module I show you how you can have a sold out Premiere of your film and how to prepare for Film Festivals

  • I have had my films in over 15 film festivals in the U.S. and beyond. Navigating film festivals isn’t as scary as you think if you know what to do. And I’m going to share EVERYTHING with you so you can rock the film festival circuit.
