A MESSAGE FROM CAROLE DEAN
Founder and President of From the Heart Productions
I founded From the Heart Productions and the Roy W. Dean Grant because of a deep love for independent film and filmmakers. I believe that films have the power to touch people’s hearts, to inspire action, to change the world for the better. I wanted to create opportunities for brilliant filmmakers to get the funding they needed to make their films a reality.
30 Years Later, I am more in love with film and more passionate about independent filmmakers than ever before.
With many organizations to consider, I can promise you this: We are deeply dedicated to helping filmmakers get funded. We genuinely care about our clients and give personal attention to each project. Many clients feel like family, and some have been with us for years or even decades. I believe what sets up apart is not only our collective knowledge and wisdom, or our almost countless educational resources, but our profound love for film, and an approach which is truly from the heart.
I hope you will join the From the Heart Family.
I wish you all the best of success with your film!
With Love,
