MORE DETAILS
Roger Stigliano’s film, American Sons, is a powerful story about a boy who shoots and kills his bully and the ramifications around that event. As producer, I am excited to bring Roger’s vision to life and share a narrative that explores redemption and the complexities of second chances. This film aims to spark important conversations and inspire viewers to reflect on their own journeys.

Your contribution will help us cover equipment, camera and lenses, production design, wardrobe, makeup, and pay for our dedicated crew.
This film is about redemption, and everyone can relate to needing a second chance in life. We are living in a time that requires this sentiment more than ever. To make a film is a unique experience, and telling important stories that inspire people to be better is a privilege. We invite you to join us on this journey and help bring American Sons to the screen. Your support means the world to us.
