A big part of the making of Flight for Life is to put wounded veterans to work on both sides of the camera, as both cast and crew, while telling a tale that the world is a better place with them in it.

Working on the set of a movie about veterans provides a unique environment and an empowering opportunity for veterans to learn a new craft and develop valuable skills in the filmmaking industry. Through hands-on experience and collaboration with professionals, they can gain confidence, find purpose, and build a sense of camaraderie in their journey of creative expression.

Our partner to meet the objective of mentorship is a Dallas-based organization which prepares veterans for careers in film and media production through education, mentorships, and job placements. Through our agreement with VIFM, we will be employing 4-8 wounded veterans behind the camera as our crew, putting them to work in various departments such as art, camera, grip, and production team and paying them real wages for real experience.

WE'RE SHINING A LIGHT ON THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS:

Today, the importance of mental health for our veteran populations cannot be overstated. Serving in the military often exposes individuals to intense and traumatic experiences that can have profound and long-lasting effects on their well-being.

As these brave men and women return to everyday life, many of them struggle with feelings of despair and hopelessness, battling conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. It is crucial to address this crisis and provide support to those who have served our country selflessly. 

We aim to shine a light on the challenges faced by veterans and the journey of overcoming suicidal ideation. By portraying relatable characters and their triumphs over darkness, we hope to inspire compassion, understanding, and greater awareness of the mental health issues our veterans endure. “Flight For Life: The Movie” aspires to be a powerful catalyst for change, fostering a society that prioritizes mental health support and ensures no veteran feels alone on their path to healing and renewal.
