ELSA & FRED
FULL OF GRACE
A LEADING MAN

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR:
SPIRITUALLY-MINDED projects that elevate the FAITH-BASED genre, plus COMEDY, DRAMA, THRILLER, HORROR, and SCI-FI features with cinematic and visual potential – stories that open audiences up to new worlds, new people, and new experiences.
