“The Heart of Long Beach is more than just a feature film. It’s a way to tell the eclectic and rich story of Long Beach. The living and breathing essence of our city will be captured in this film in an intricate threading of heart felt stories told from a multitude of culturally diverse and artistic perspectives. We believe that Long Beach has so much to offer, so much to say, and we know that this film will give a voice to us all. The most important element of this project is that we will empower local residents and filmmakers to tell their story by offering resources, education, and support. We want every district represented and every culture/community involved. Many times so many people are forgotten in our efforts, but with this project it’s paramount to reach out and empower the underrepresented areas, children, elderly, impoverished, and the non tech savvy communities because in the end, we all have a story to tell. This isn’t just any film set in Long Beach, this is our film, made by Long Beach. ”
