Help Us Save Lives Documentaries

Donation protected
During the Covid-19 Pandemic over the last three years, many millions have been and will continue to be, shut in their homes OR have now decided not to return to the job they had. Many of these people are struggling to put food on the table, especially with the rise in food costs over the last year. This increases the risk of depression, spousal and domestic abuse, substance abuse, and even suicide. We have documentaries to address each of these issues and we are asking you to help sponsor one or more of our videos to help those in need. See all of our documentaries and further information on our website at https://helpussavelives.com or www.HandcraftFilm.com.

Help Us Save Lives and our production company Handcraft Film is a group of people and companies in a partnership that is focused on two main objectives: saving and enhancing lives. We are ALL created equal! When you donate or become a sponsor, please tell us what documentaries you wish to be listed in the credits in that film. See four samples of our documentaries in production;

1) BC Food Banks (2-minutes) Over 100,000 people a month are served by 100 food banks in BC alone, with over 1.5 MILLION people using food banks across Canada each month! See this two-minute video for these clients. One unique opportunity we offer is your name, logo, and website ad the end of a short video or documentary like this one. These can range in length from a few seconds to two minutes. See the short video sample here and let us know if we can build one for you, your company, or your organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO4x5HttFUc&t=5s

2) Suicide Awareness and Prevention (Finished video appx. 15 minutes with sponsor information included). This is a sixty-second video called Choose Life! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-cuQcLhnk4

This is a one-minute video that shows statistics on suicide and depression (1:24) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uGkOANRQ2E

An article for an upcoming doc on suicide risk in men. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190313-why-more-men-kill-themselves-than-women

3) Ending Sexual Assault (Finished video appx. 15 minutes with sponsor information included). This is a one-minute interview with directors of the Elizabeth Fry Society; Sexual Assault Interview (1:09)

This is a ten-second short video called The LastDance about a woman that was assaulted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJf1GEZRf5Y

4) Speed Kills (Finished video appx. 15 minutes with sponsor information included). This is an 11-minute video we co-produced for the RCMP in Kelowna to help teens slow down and live by avoiding speeding and vehicle crashes. Speed Kills (10:50) https://youtu.be/DOsLqckou64

We see this in Kelowna nearly every day, even on that street where this accident happened. I once saw a Ferrari running from the RCMP at over 130 kph on that street and helped get that driver caught, arrested, and later convicted. This is just insane when people take the risks they do, especially running red lights when they do. https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/393666/High-speed-crash-caught-on-camera-in-Kelowna#393666

EACH of these videos needs sponsors. We will raise our needed capital through this campaign as well as sponsors for each documentary. All of them will be on our website, their own documentary sponsors, and will be featured on our documentary channel worldwide for maximum exposure.

We are raising funds to film, edit and distribute the documentaries and funding will help us secure equipment and staff to produce the videos, as well as expand our website as soon as funding allows. This funding will also allow us to purchase a vehicle with a trailer, complete with logos and sponsors shown, to be able to bring young people and others of all ages to events, bring our programs to schools, parks, and other locations to expand our message. We will be adding podcasts and video streaming in 2020.

Everyone that makes a donation of any amount will be listed in the film credits of that documentary and thanked on social media.
