We at Higher Ground Films have been developing our business model as well as the work on the film perspectives for after our official launch. Our goal is to continue to do films for many years that will be glorifying to God, family friendly, and of course, entertaining.
Since some of us have been in the industry for decades, and subsequently, in the business of developing a model for Christian or family films, we have acquired multiple contacts for each aspect of our productions.
The various departments we're staffing
and accepting applications or resumes for include, but are not limited to:
- The above-the-line production staff.
- The production crew, including all ancillaries.
- The cast, wardrobe, location securing and management, make-up and all other ancillaries.
- Provisions for housing and meals or per diem, for all involved production personnel.
- Equipment purchase where responsibly investible, otherwise we intend to secure rentals.
- Transportation for all members of the cast, crew, or other personnel.
- Security, licensing, and insurance and more.
THE ADVANTAGE TO AN INVESTOR OR AREA IS THAT FILMING STIMULATES TOURISM
Movie production locations are influential and increase tourism to those communities and their convention centers, as well as increasing the popularity of potential homesites to these areas.
As a result, the economic impact of our investments will result in cumulative employment from our industry presence and will provide related jobs in the first five years.
