<div>Hello! My name is Emma Sumlin and this is my second film to direct alongside my friend Jonathan Collins, and we are so excited to have entered into pre-production on our dream story, <em>Timeless</em>. The film's idea came to me in the Spring of 2023, and ever since, I haven't stopped dreaming about the day I could make it. I recently premiered my last film <em>We Were Happy</em> and it was a great success among those who attended the premiere or watched it from home. We loved working on that project, and this project is even more exciting because not only has the story drawn people from all across the US to participate in it, but the scale of what we are communicating has grown and deepened. This is a silent, black-and-white, short WWII film to be shot in Springtown, TX in the Summer of 2024. This means the visuals are key and so is the music! With your help, we'll have a shot at making a top-quality, moving, beautiful, and powerful story. I finished writing the script a few months ago and it feels right. As well, the Lord has opened every door for this project, and we pray he will continue to help us in our fundraising! If you feel led to give, we thank you, and if all you can do is pray alongside us, we thank you immensely!
