Fundraising to Film.

We have begun filming! Our team has shifted from Pre-Production into Production. That means we’re actually traveling throughout the United States filming interviews, searching through archives, and recovering near-forgotten stories.

Most independent documentaries take substantially longer to film because the filmmakers spend much of their time raising funds instead of filming. When you join us, you help keep our filmmaking team in the books and behind the camera.

Our fundraising goal to complete the filming of The Body Of Christ Has AIDS is $65,000.

So far, we have raised $19,600. We’re 30% of the way there!

  • Raise 50% of our production costs, or $32,500. This will allow us to continue filming through the Spring 2024.

  • Raise the rest of our production budget, $65,000. This will allow us to complete filming in the spring and summer of 2024.

  • This summer, we plan to finish filming and complete a first edit of The Body of Christ Has AIDS!

  • Begin post-production!

Join us on this Journey.

Any support you may be able to provide will get us one step closer to our goal.

Documentary films often take years to produce because the endeavor is filled with long hours of hard work, an all-in commitment to the story, and personal sacrifice.

The Body of Christ Has AIDS is no different. We promise you as filmmakers that we are fully committed to telling stories never told before onscreen.

We will not stop until we bring the stories of Christian rebels out of the shadows and into the light. The stories of daring and brave souls deserve to finally be told.

For it is in their stories that we see what compassion truly looks like in the face of silence. They believed as Christians, if one has AIDS we all have AIDS. This is their rally cry.

We will not stop until their stories are told. We will not stop until we bring to life this full-length documentary. Join us in telling this story.
