Life Out Loud Films

Life Out Loud Films is an independent film production company focused on producing inspirational feat Our 6 Filmmaking Values

1. Opportunity is at the core.

Inspiration
We produce films that touch the honesty, depth and richness of the heart and the truth of human nature. Films that are a catalyst for positive change and inspire audiences to embrace our motto to DARE to live life out Loud: dream, act, risk and embrace life.

2. Collaboration:
Our model is based on collaboration and creating a win-win opportunity in our partnerships. Through our uniqu

e approach of enrolling the communities in which we shoot, the locale takes ownership and pride in the film and becomes a member of our team. Welcoming the community creates a larger team which then encompasses more resources, cheerleaders and volunteers. We believe that the spirit, passion and heart of the team behind a film can be seen on the screen and so this approach is not only economically beneficial but artistically as well. Artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, etc. follow their life dream, while also touching the larger dream of the film making it possible.

3. Giving Back:
For our team, the filmmaking process is much more fulfilling when we are able to make a difference. We work to promote economic development and tourism and showcase the real location and community whenever possible. In addition to industry professionals, we also include artists, musicians, caterers, etc. whom have never had the opportunity to build experience in film or be a part of the filmmaking experience. On each film, a portion of all proceeds is given to a cause (i.e. lake cleanup efforts, Wish you Well foundation) and the company raises money annually for the Scott Winter’s Scholarship Fund (in the memory of the late Lake Effects writer), which awards money to a student pursuing a film career.

4. Balance Business & Art:
We believe film is art but we also believe it will not be seen and enjoyed by large audiences if that art is also not balanced with business. We take pride in keeping this balance and strive to keep our team of loyal investors and industry professionals happy by not only creating great films but also films that can be sold and be seen. Satisfied investors and team members enable us to continue to make films for years to come.Making the film is only a small part of the filmmaking process. Getting it sold and distributed is the key phase and in order to do this successfully, a producer must have a solid understanding of this end phase before embarking on the film. We maintain strong relationships with distribution & sales companies along with development execs and stay on top of the current distribution climate. We utilize this research to tweak elements of the film during development in order to set the film up for the greatest chance for success once complete.

5. Presenting Strong Female Characters:
Strong, compelling and multifaceted female roles seem rare and often very difficult to find for actresses. As a female founded company, we seek material that presents strong and multi dimensional woman giving females a positive voice in film.

6. High Quality, Low Costs:
Through collaboration and smart planning, we aim to keep costs low but quality high in efforts to best position the film for investors to see a return. We focus our spending on creating production value and putting the money on the screen, utilizing top cameras, post production houses, name talent, etc. We spend wisely and care for our investor’s money as we would our own.

One of the biggest takeaways I had from Cannes was that regardless of the state of the industry—be it the pandemic and recent strikes—this is an industry about relationships. Gathering with like-minded and passionate filmmakers who love what they do is priceless. Being reminded of the importance of our art and storytelling to culture, the world, and society is priceless. Human beings inspire, and human interaction enriches our art and storytelling. Ultimately, these connections and relationships are what bring our projects to life. Never underestimate the power of human connection—it’s truly PRICELESS.

-Sara Elizabeth

26/05/2024

Sara Elizabeth had a blast at this panel at the Cannes Film Festival this week! The event, hosted by the World of Film International Film Festival and Stage 32, took place at the Greek Pavilion and was moderated by Martin Petrov.

ADVICE FROM AN AWARD-WINNING WRITER! Two years ago, writer Micky Levy urged us that we should be collecting our “No’s”. If you don’t have a list of rejections, then you haven’t done your job. Together, let’s collect our No’s this month and get a step closer to that “Yes”! “Don’t be afraid of the No’s, make them your friend.” Members can rewatch the rest of Micky’s Power Hour in our Power Hour Archive! #indiefilmmakers #independentfilm ##filmproducers #indiefilmmaking #filmindustry #filmschool #screenwriterslife #filmmakinglife #indiefilmlab #filmpitch #NoFilmSchool #april2024

CHAMPIONING INDIE FILMS AT THE OSCARS Congratulations to Cord Jefferson, writer and director of ‘American Fiction,’ for receiving the Best Adapted Screenplay award at the Oscars this year! We are thrilled to highlight his acceptance speech and the importance of independent films. Our favorite part of his speech advocated and championed indie films! "Instead of making one $200 million movie, try making 20 $10 million movies. Or 50 $4 million movies." Today, we celebrate all of the independent filmmakers out there who break boundaries every day in their craft. THANK YOU for your dedication and passion for the art of storytelling! . . . #indiefilmmakers #independentfilm ##filmproducers #indiefilmmaking #filmindustry #filmschool #screenwriterslife #filmmakinglife #indiefilmlab #filmpitch #Oscars2024 #NoFilmSchool

ADVICE FROM THE EP OF QUANTUM LEAP! 👏 👏 👏 We are excited to highlight invaluable advice from previous Power Hour Guests. One year ago, Quantum Leap Executive Producer Deborah Pratt encouraged us to pitch ourselves, not just our story. When you pitch YOU, producers and investors become more engaged in the narrative you’re telling. “Be fearless…the worst that can happen is somebody can say no.” Listen to the full advice in the video above! . . . #filmproducers #indiefilmmaking #filmindustry #filmschool #womeninfilmmaking #screenwriterslife #filmmakinglife #indiefilmlab #filmpitch #NoFilmSchool #freefilmcourse
