Tainted Justice POLICE UPGRADES

James Lilley came to us with the hopes of telling a story about Police Officers, who actually made a huge difference in bringing down corruption within not only the police department but well...it ran deep.

As Hollywood Influencers, we decided to take the opportunity to not just tell his story, but in the process UPGRADE, the police department in the area of Georgia where filming happens. 
Both Tyler Perry Studios as well as within the Atlanta Area have been pleading for help.

A friend had been very successful in raising funds for his film on Kickstarter.  We backed his project a few years ago and thought it would be very well received.  Instead that platform has chosen to align itself with a very controversial organization that is very divisive.

We refuse to be part of dividing Americans by ANY means.  

This is preposterous to make ALL police officers the "bad guys".  Or all Black guys the "good guys" or to even allow divisiveness to enter our communities is not where we were at in 1990, and it sure should not be where we end up in 2020.

In fact, we started this film long before any of the riots or current climate facing us was this large of a nationwide project.

We aim to raise enough money to Shoot a Feature Film, which is titled "Tainted Justice", from the Hounds from Hell series written by James Lilley.  We are committing millions of dollars worth of industry assets, networks, and connections, and the one thing we need is to be able to pay the UNION, taxes, permits, and fees associated with using mainstream actors in a film, as well as support the local film community in Georgia, they should not work for "NO PAY".

This idea will set a precedent never before done in our industry where we utilize our industry funds to upgrade nationwide police departments, one production at a time.  Taking the budgets we use to make our projects and spending them in areas that need them most, not just giving millions of dollars to a few producers, but turning many into producers and spreading the wealth.

This will bring JOBS to the local community.  This will celebrate the community we all knew and loved growing up, ones that are in dire need of some real opportunities.

The most important part about this film for me personally as a filmmaker is that minorities will get to be featured and seen in a position of power within our industry through this production.
Producer, Director, Star, Keys, Decision Makers, all that later will be able to start the conversation as well as direct the policies needed to bring about community integration and working solutions.

This is a chance to tell a story that immortalizes and really shows children what it means to be a HERO to those you serve.

Not what it means to take advantage of a position of power.

We have all had and seen enough of that and it is time we stand united.  Thank you for your support. 

Please take your time to really check out our FILM CREW and CAST.  This is a rare independent chance for us to bring huge reform and opportunities while telling the stories that will be hard to face and hear but are necessary for any change and healing to begin.

We will be adding more and more people to this project as their support comes online.  

Thank you for your support.  Even $1.00 makes a huge difference.  We have investors willing to put up funds to match anything we can raise here to show support for this project.

STARRING
Gabriel Cannon - introducing for the first time in a feature film, the role of Rico Leamon.  www.associatedartistsgroup.com
Well and now as our audience, you know why we feel this is important. Making films where minorities get to star and are in control leads to more minorities having a place in Hollywood. Seeing great men who are amazing civic leaders in their communities, are the ones we should be shining a light on to and lifting up. 
Come on America let's lift up this man to STARDOM!
