In Plain Sight: Indie Film Fundraiser 📢📣 THIS FILM ALREADY HAS DISTRIBUTION 📣📢
August 9, 2025 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

What to Expect:
🍿 Food
🎬 Special screening of Erica Faye’s past films
✨ Live Q&A with Erica Faye
🗣️ Studio plans and film vision
🎬 About the Film – In Plain Sight
In Plain Sight is a gripping, faith thriller about Audrey, a fiercely overprotective mother haunted by past trauma, and her teenage son Bryan, who longs for freedom and independence.
Audrey’s deep-rooted anxiety keeps her in constant fear of losing her son — a fear so strong, it traps them both. Bryan, bright and grounded, is desperate to break free from her control and just live like a normal teen.
But when the unthinkable happens, Audrey is forced to confront her darkest fears, past heartbreak, and the very faith she’s walked away from.
This emotional story explores the silent weight of mental illness, the pain of unhealed trauma, and what happens when we try to protect our loved ones without surrendering to God.
In Plain Sight speaks to mothers, survivors, and anyone who’s ever struggled to let go, trust again, or heal from the unseen battles within.
💛 Help us bring this timely, powerful message to the screen.
💛 You can help. Give, sponsor, share, or pray — every act of support brings us closer to our goal
