Introduce Yourself : Filmmaker Transforming Policing in America -- Looking For Help From Socially Responsible Agent by A.J. Ali

I know the money's important, but it's not the only thing. I've recently directed and produced a film (along with my co-producer and DP Errol Webber, a dedicated and brilliant cinematographer, I might add) that is transforming policing in America one heart at a time. I'm looking for an agent who can see the potential profit both financial and societal. We have been licensing the film directly to police departments, churches, libraries, schools, nonprofits and other organizations. Using the licensing model I created, we've already brought in 10x the amount of money a distributor offered us at the AFM in 2016, and (in my best Al Pacino voice) we're just getting warmed up! One couple recently sponsored 20 licenses to get the film into L.A. area high schools! We recently held one of those screenings at a school in Watts and a 15-year-old boy came up to us and said he has hated police his entire life because of what he's seen them do. And then he said our film, and the chance to speak with some peace officers who really care has caused him to change his mind about the police. He said "I want to be part of the solution now." I need a "Jerry Maguire" who sees the potential in that story. In 2016, in Dallas, a shooter took the lives of several police officers and wounded others during a peaceful rally. In October 2018, the Dallas County Community College District is bringing our film in to kickoff screenings at all 10 of their campuses for much-needed community discussions designed to heal. Again, I need a Jerry Maguire who sees the value in that. I once had someone tell me that a film can't change anything in society. I respect that person as a friend, but he couldn't be more wrong. Jerry Maguire, if there's one out there, I need you to help me get this film into 10,000 schools, 10,000 churches and 1 million homes. Literally everywhere we've played it, in more than 20 states, it has made a tremendous difference. When we get this film into 10,000 schools, 10,000 churches and 1 million homes, it will transform policing in America as we know it, from militaristic enforcers to peace officers in service to the community. Take a look at what happened when 3 Super Bowl champions hosted a screening of our film in Philadelphia and the NFL cameras were there...
