Mustang Martha

Originally titled Martha's Mustang, I am very excited about this feature film about a woman in the man's world of auto body repair who sued City Hall to keep a hot pink Mustang, refurbished into a flower planter as part of her Shop's sign after the City cited her for being in violation of the Junk Car Ordinance - a new Ordinance only enforced when people complain. So, who's out to get Martha? Inspired by true events that divided the city of Baytown, TX in 1994. Follow on FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM and SIGN UP for email updates and needed resources HERE​​

As a rebellion story inspired by true events from the early 1990s, it feels like the perfect segue from my debut feature film Acid Test. With broad appeal, the script has gathered several accolades such as being selected as a Quarterfinalist for the Nicholl Fellowship, receiving the Houston Arts Alliance Support for Artists and Creative Individuals Grant to produce a table read workshop of the script, which was featured as part of the 2022 Houston Cinema Arts Festival. It was a semi-finalist for a Film Fatales Fellowship to the Stowe Story Lab, where it participated in both the Producer's Lab and the Narrative Lab in addition to the Intentional Filmmaking Class with From the Heart Productions, who served as fiscal sponsors for Acid Test.​

​

Recently, We had a wonderful community-awareness event in Baytown to kick off our active development with an eye toward a late October 2025 shoot! Check out more information HERE. The project is currently in "development" taking our award-winning script and attaching well-known actors and securing financing so we can move into production to film in Baytown and the surrounding area with our phenomenal Texas-based crew!

​

From the Heart Productions is also serving as our fiscal sponsor for Martha's Mustang and we are FUNDRAISING to bring this film to life, making any donations tax-deductible!

​

Funds will go towards hiring a CASTING DIRECTOR to secure name talent, a LINE PRODUCER to prepare a more detailed budget and production schedule, a SALES AGENT to secure distribution, and toward all LEGAL and pre-production costs such as rebuilding the iconic "purple planter".

​

We're also looking for INDUSTRY PARTNERS excited to be part of this project:

• Executive Producer​
• Producer experienced attaching name talent and financing
• Name Talent
• Sales Agent
• Distributor
• Corporate Sponsorship & Product Placement
• Investors

​

Yes, we can ALSO have traditional investors as part of our financing outside of our tax-deductible donations through From the Heart Productions.

 

Upon request, I can provide the script, pitch deck, budget, waterfall information, cast list, and more. For any of this information, or for any referrals/direct connections, please CONTACT ME ​ 

​

Martha's Mustang is truly a community film. Martha is alive and well, as are many of the real-life characters from our story. People of Baytown still remember the "purple planter" and the fight with City Hall.

​

Thank you so much for your support! I can't do it without you!

​

We had a wonderful live table read - for audience feedback - during the 2022 Houston Cinema Arts Festival performed by local actors (pictured below). Read more and see photos HERE!

​

Excited to see where this project goes next!
