THE RISING HEROES PROJECT

Our films are available for FREE
for non-profit organizations
& charitable initiatives.

Inspirational Films. Powerful Impact.

When filmmaker Brett Culp completed his inspiring feature-length documentary Legends of the Knight, he made a unique and unexpected decision. He invited anyone in the world to screen the film in their local community with the proceeds benefiting the charity of their choice.

Without a single dollar spent on marketing or advertising and no paid staff, the movie successfully screened in theaters in 110 cities across the globe raising $100,000 for charity. Each showing was hosted by local volunteers who took the initiative to organize and promote the event.

The project inspired thousands of people – many of whom had never planned a community event – to become leaders engaged in a passionate mission.

And it was the beginning of The Rising Heroes Project.

Our Work

The Rising Heroes Project produces films and other creative projects that inspire viewers to engage with the world in a positive way. We believe that uplifting, real-life stories with messages of hope, courage, and commitment have the power to create lasting change.

Through our distribution partnerships, our films are available for community screenings and on digital platforms like Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and Hulu.

But producing these encouraging films is only the first part of our mission.  We have built partnerships with community leaders and not-for-profit organizations around the world that use these films for enriching local events, fundraisers, and gatherings that encourage the heroic spirit.  For not-for-profit efforts, our films are available at NO cost.

The Impact

Our in-person and virtual movie screenings have become a tool for both established organizations and groups of individuals newly inspired to make a difference.  This approach allows “rising heroes” who have never planned a community event a simple way of bringing people together on a positive mission.

Charitable organizations around the planet have received exposure and funding through showings of our films, including Ronald McDonald House, Make-A-Wish, St Jude’s, Boys and Girls Club, MDA, Special Olympics, children’s hospitals, and more.

The films have also screened in elementary school classrooms, middle school assemblies, and added to university curriculum.
