The film that does the asking.
Cinematic and true. Someone watches it and understands what Hope Haven is, and what to do about it. Three short films or one longer one. Your call.

A place to follow, give, pray and see where it went
Separate scope. Sample content. Tap the tabs, it works. Built on the Lightbox Missions platform, where one donor can pay for a story and verify where every gift went.
Friday: a birthday at the houseTap the tabs. It works.
Check in at the door for your badgeDinner, Tuesday nightHow it fits together
Each piece makes the next one work
The mark stays. Type, colour, photography get a system.
Shot in that system. The story people finish.
Built around the film. The front door.
Cutdowns, stills and episodes from the same shoot.
All of it lands in one room.
Made once, used everywhere. That is why the price is one number.
Why this works
One story, made once, working for years.
Seen
The film plays on the site, on YouTube, at every event, in every donor conversation.
Felt
People give when they can see. Now they can: the girls, the houses, the gap.
Measured
Spring Dinner, March 2. What the room gives that night, against last year.
Fund a story. Make the film. Raise awareness. Raise support. Document it. Fund the next one.
It has worked before
$125,000 in five days.
Pine Cove · “A Father’s Prayer”
A Lightbox Vision Film. In five days, it helped raise $125,000. One emotional, story-driven film, released around a key donor push.
Project Eden · Manila
A Vision Film for a ministry rescuing and restoring trafficked girls. A clear, emotional picture of the mission, made to move supporters.
Hope Haven has the same kind of story. It has not been filmed yet.
What we are selling
Three ways to do this
Everything in the brief
The whole story
- The Vision Film
- Three commercials
- The website, launched
- Brand refresh
- Brand photography for the website
- One-month podcast package
- Media library
Premieres at the Spring Dinner. One gift can fund all of it.
The film
The Vision Film
- The Vision Film
- Media library
Series or feature, your choice. About what our last Vision Film cost.
A smaller start
The promo
- One promotional video (not the Vision Film)
A way to start. Our last local film was this size.
Every price includes production, travel and expenses. No surprise costs. Typical terms: 40% at signing, 30% at production, 30% on delivery.
The road to March 2
Premiere at the Spring Dinner.
Today. The angle, the format, who is on camera.
The film on paper. Website content plan. Brand system.
Shoot days at Gateway of Hope, Oak Haven, Family Solutions.
Website and brand go live with the trailer.
The premiere, in the room.
For one donor
One gift could cover the whole story
The goal: 3–5× the film's cost, back into Hope Haven. Most stories like this are funded by two or three supporters, often within weeks.
What they get
Named in the film and at the premiere. Our proposal, for Hope Haven to confirm.
What they see
Where every dollar went, documented on the Lightbox Missions platform.
What it leaves
A story Hope Haven uses for years. And a next film, partly funded by this one.
Next steps
What we need to decide together
From you
1. Which size of story
2. A series or one feature
3. Who could fund it
From us
1. The treatment
2. The agreement
3. The website on a private link
