This one is personal.
Redemption came from a place of asking difficult questions about justice, loss, and what happens when the system fails you.
To have this story recognized on a stage like Cannes is something I carry with deep gratitude.
Thank you to everyone who believed in this vision from the very beginning.
This is for us.

OFFICIAL SELECTION
Redemption has been accepted into a Cannes International Film Festival.
A story rooted in grief. Driven by truth.
From Atlanta… to the global stage of the Cannes International Film Festival.
This moment is bigger than film, it’s about the stories we choose to tell, and the ones we refuse to silence.
We’re just getting started.

These incredible kids have given me more than I could ever give in return. I just hope this program meant as much to them as their energy, curiosity, and spirit have meant to me.
Tomorrow, July 9th, is the red carpet screening. Free and open to the public, at the EpiCenter in Mableton, GA.

Tamir Rice was 12 years old.
His story never left me.
Redemption was born from anger, grief, and questions.
This film is about humanity, accountability, and the emotional cost of injustice.

REDEMPTION is going to Cannes Film Festival.
Not as a dream. Not as a maybe.
As a statement.
This film was built from passion, sacrifice, and the kind of storytelling that doesn’t ask for permission.
Now we’re taking it to the biggest stage in the world.
But here’s the truth… getting there isn’t just about the film. It’s about representation. It’s about showing up in rooms where stories like ours are rarely given the spotlight.
That’s where you come in.
We just launched our Kickstarter to fund the journey to Cannes, travel, promotion, and making sure Redemption is seen the way it deserves to be seen.
If you’ve ever supported the vision, tapped into the story, or believed in what we’re building… this is the moment to stand with us.
Every contribution pushes this story further. Every share puts us in front of the right eyes.
Let’s take this all the way.
