HOMEBOUND
Feature Film in Development
Our docudrama feature film will explore the restoration process of sex-trafficked victims, and the work of Wellspring Living, a nonprofit based in Atlanta, GA — providing survivors for 25 years with specialized recovery services through residential, counseling, education and community-based programs.
Featuring stories of children and adults who have transitioned to discovering their place in the world, what makes this film unique from existing content on the subject matter, is that it will focus on the survivor’s process of healing and wholeness, with the hope of creating public awareness on how to help and walk alongside survivors in rebuilding their lives.
Our HOMEBOUND film pitch has passed the Angel Guild audience selection process. We would have a full distribution and marketing partner that supports and emphasizes stories that shed light in the darkness. Our film is an important follow-up to the summer hit movie SOUND OF FREEDOM (about rescuing kidnapped, trafficked children), because we will specifically focus on the essential, yet often overlooked, journeys of survivors as they strive for healing, stability, and independence. With an existing audience who supported the movie powerfully, we anticipate them also advocating for our film.
Angel Studios is a major Film/TV distribution company which champions films “amplifying light.” Through Angel Studios’ platform, current members (over 1M members and growing) vote on which titles will be distributed based on concept pitch videos. Angel Studios allows creators and audiences to form passionate communities around their creative projects. Currently, the films they’ve distributed have a collective box office revenue of $300M, 26M app downloads and 9B+ views.
We hope to get a theatrical release, followed by streaming through major platforms. We plan to place a QR code directing audiences to our website where audiences can learn more information how to get involved.

EXECUTIVE PRINCIPALS
PRODUCER
Jill Bugbee has 20+ years experience in Film / Video industry as producer, line producer, unit production manager (UPM), sales and marketing director, story development executive and writer.
We are a husband-and-wife team and have been working together for over 20 years, with over 45 years combined experience in Film, TV & Video Production, Development and Distribution. Since 2004 we have produced corporate and marketing videos with over 800 productions to date, helping businesses and organizations get their valuable messages out to their audiences.
In September 2015, we released our first feature-length film Heroes of Dirt (PG-13) — helming it from the ground up with story development, scriptwriting, casting, producing, directing, editing, marketing and distribution. Wearing “all hats” for the executive positions for our independent movie gave us unprecedented, full-gamut experience of independent filmmaking and distribution.
Currently, we have several Film & TV projects in development, which we plan to produce as a production company. Our focus is developing and producing RIFF (Redemptive, Inspirational, Family or Faith) content, which aims to take our audience on gripping, impactful and transformational journeys.
We are continuously fostering relationships in the film industry for strategic partnerships, and we’re excited to work with mutually heart-centered, mission-minded and excellence-driven individuals as part of our growing team.
