Finding Family Movie

Finding Family is a realistic dramatic film intended to encourage families to consider fostering older children and sibling groups.

 

 

Log line:

A horse trainer and her husband want to adopt a baby through foster care. Foster care, however,  convinces them to foster three troubled teens including a boy with a  history of animal abuse.

 

In addition to seeking online and theatrical distribution, the film will be given free to foster agencies to encourage people to consider fostering older children and sibling groups. All proceeds will be donated by our fiscal sponsor, CascadiaNow!, to non-profit organizations that benefit older foster kids.

 

CascadiaNow! is a 501(3)c non-profit organization. All donation to Finding Family Movie are tax deductible.
