Help Us Save Lives, in partnership with our production company, Handcraft Film, will produce a TV series featuring 13-26 episodes per year. The premier episode is " SAAD - Suicide Awareness, Anxiety, and Depression." This episode identifies signs of mental illness and a pathway toward mental wellness. Suicide IS preventable. The other 12 episodes are outlined below. These will be a blend of drama, documentaries, sponsors, and news stories, which we refer to as a "docu-series". Each episode will be translated into a dozen languages, both for audio and/or subtitles. The market is worldwide and each episode will be available in both a 30-minute and expanded 60-minute format, depending on the viewing options available. They will differ from traditional fundraising methods most documentaries are limited to, which is donations, sponsors or grants. Here is a short video trailer that recaps our program.
The episodes will be filmed in a documentary AND live panel discussion format, with one host, a guest host, other panelists and invited guests narrating the videos and stories told. Each episode will air through a network or streaming channels, as well as on our websites, other Internet locations, client and partner's websites, podcasts, and other social media.
These shows will include selected product placement, commercials, AND sponsors, grants, and loans to produce this series, which is in pre-production now. Every episode will also feature related or complimentary products and commercial advertisers, unlike the traditional documentary format.
Each episode of the Help Us Save Lives television show will feature a specific topic, with interviews in person and on video from around the world. Many will appear in studio and others will be featured via Zoom or other video links for interviews.
Each episode will be 30 minutes in length, with 22 minutes of programming and 8 minutes of sponsor advertising, identical to other half-hour television shows, since these epiosed will be streamed on Internet or cable channels worldwide. They will also be avilable with translation and captions.
For advertising and product placement opportunities contact us for more information and pricing.
Though our production company Handcraft Film, we are producing a song for our TV show, Help Us Save Lives, called "We Are All One Voice".
This song is similar in nature to the amazing 1985 song, "We are the World", which featured dozens of the top recording artists of the time. The goal of our song is to collaborate with a variety of recording artists of ALL nationalities, races, and abilities (OR disabilities), to create a song which will draw attention to, and help end, domestic and spousal abuse and violence against men, women and children. To be a part of this amazing project contact us today.

Speed Kills- (Finished video approximately 30 to 60 minutes with sponsor information included). This is the initial 11-minute video we co-produced for the RCMP in Kelowna in 1996 to help teens slow down and live, by avoiding speeding and vehicle crashes. This video will be updated with new information about texting and distracted driving, how to communicate with teens on the importance of safe driving, how new drug laws impact teen driving, as well as in-depth interviews of survivors of accidents and the lessons learned. Vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death in young people worldwide. See the initial video. https://youtu.be/DOsLqckou64
A very short PSA on keeping women safe from sexual assault. According to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kelowna, on average a woman is abused or assaulted eight times before she reports the abuse! It is also estimated a high majority of sexual assaults are NEVER reported, for fear from the assailant or for the trauma being relived in reporting the crime and possible recurring trauma during a trial.
Sexual assult is a worldwide epidemic and affects men, women, girls, teens and even children. It IS avoidable and preventable. We must do all we can to stop this! See our short video here.
