Hi there stage 32! I’m a producer based in Nashville, TN. I spent most of my career in LA, but I moved back home a few years ago for family reasons and now I’m looking to make stuff in Nashville or in the neighboring areas. Hit me up if you are of a like mind. I’d love to connect!

The logline presents a story that has a strong historical context, which can make it more compelling and relevant for the audience. The 1930s was a time of significant social and economic upheaval, and the discrimination faced by Native Americans during this time is an important and often overlooked aspect of history. By exploring this historical context through the story of Jimmy Coleman, the logline can create a sense of educational value that can appeal to audiences interested in history and social justice issues.

The fact that the story is based on a true story can add an extra layer of interest and credibility to the plot. The audience may be more invested in a story that is based on actual events, as they can feel that they are learning something new and important. The true story aspect can also create a sense of authenticity that can make the story more engaging and memorable.
