About

As an emerging producer of film and series, Hearth Productions centres representation and community. Stories have the power to be transformative and identity affirming, so to expand the representation of marginalized groups and their experiences is to expand opportunities, uplift communities, and affirm the lives and experiences of the underrepresented.

The company will be kicking things off with the short film TIDAL LOCKED, written & produced by Tristin Morton (STREET LEGAL: THE REBOOT, THE ROMEO SECTION) – a sapphic romance in which two ex-girlfriends on an isolated beach reexamine their past relationship through the classic game of spin the bottle – starring Jess Smith (THE LOST WIFE OF ROBERT DURST, ROUND AND ROUND) and Donna Benedicto (ALERT, EXMAS), and directed by the multi-talented Yvonne Chapman (AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, SUPERMAN & LOIS).

Following the momentum of the short film, Hearth will turn the focus to TIME WITH HER, a sapphic romance with a grounded time travel element and a GEMFest feature screenplay competition finalist, starring Sophia Lauchlin Hirt (BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE, CARDINAL), Donna Benedicto, and Jess Smith, and directed by Yvonne Chapman. The story follows a grieving widow, who thanks to Tymlee’s new time travel technology, grows obsessed with reliving her brief marriage to the woman of her dreams until she stumbles onto a way to change their past and give them more time.
