Partnerships

We are seeking mutually beneficial Partnerships.

Benefits of being a Partner:

Experience.

Under the tip of the ice-berg is the behind the scenes journey where all the magic and transformation happens. You are privy to it all, producing calls, draft cuts of the film, and most important - our World Premiere. Take the stage with us to celebrate bringing this film to life.

Legacy.

In a crowded world of “too much” of everything, we must question and be intentional with how we use our energetic resources, including financial. What will your legacy be? How will you use your resources to create change? This story is worthy; these children and their families deserve to have a voice in a world that often counts them out, and leaves them behind.

Screening licenses.

This story will reach into the minds and hearts of audiences all over the country with our mainstream distribution targets. But there is even more eyes to reach in communities, universities and hospitals, a collection of screening licenses (valued at $495+/each) for these Premiere Screenings will be donated in your name to organizations of your choosing.

The original creators’ story: Scott & Sarah Potter

Sarah Potter is finishing this documentary that her late husband started in 2018. After his passing, Sarah felt very strongly about making sure the documentary did not go unfinished. As a speech pathologist, she initially did not see herself as a good fit to complete the film. However, her husband’s filmmaker community encouraged and invested in her the time to explore if this was something Sarah was passionate about. She is now a full-time filmmaker on a mission to tell this story and finish what Scott started.

Our Partners

You are in good company. We are partnered with Muse Storytelling; our Executive Producer Patrick Moreau is a 5-time Emmy Award winning filmmaker.

Muse is built on years of research in psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and sociology—all looking at one main thing: how we, as humans, connect. They found what grabs people's attention, makes something memorable, and what determines whether something is felt emotionally.

  • Scott Potter, Creator

    As a Muse Certified Storyteller, Scott began researching AFM at the urging of a friend who knew that the kids affected needed their voices to be heard. In November of 2019, he met and filmed Cami and her family to start the process of making a documentary. When Scott passed away from an unexpected illness in July 2020, Sarah and her children's lives were suddenly upended. Reflecting on Scott's mission to change the world through story, Sarah took the reins to continue Scott's vision for the AFM documentary. She considers it a part of her and Scott's legacy to finish this story.
