Elizabeth Blake-Thomas, an Award-winning Director and Philanthropist, as well as Founder of Mother & Daughter Entertainment, has formed Project Phoenix, which with your help, will provide up to 350 jobs to freelance workers in the film industry.
This collaboration with her film production company consists of producing eight SAG ultra-low budget feature films. Each with a budget of $250K, with the pledging goal totaling 2 million dollars.
These jobs will provide workers a steady income so they can pay their everyday bills. Virtual pre-production will begin once funds for the first movie are pledged, providing immediate paychecks for each worker.
Project Phoenix is also a platform to produce new and needed entertainment content that brings hope, inspiration, and positive messages to all during these unsteady times.
