Connection Matters

From Woolsey to Covid-19, community comes to the fore.

Getting ready to produce its episodic story of the rise from the ashes, IBULIEVE, Heart of the Flames is underway … in hopes to inspire those going through loss and challenge with its message: “All we have is each other.”

Christina

From Actress … to Aerobatics … to Activist.

Sharing her life’s loop de loops in her "I BUlieve", Christina Stevens steals a moment to reflect on the moment she met Mother Teresa of Calcutta … and the tremendous impact it had on her life.

The Heart of the Fire

“After the Fire” … coming soon!

With 18 interviews and over 20 hours of emotional and inspirational storytelling captured on film, we are preparing a special feature-length IBULIEVE documentary dedicated to the Woolsey Fire. Raising awareness of the power of community and the significance of kindness, “After the Fire” will tell the story behind the stories … inspired by the hearts of a community as it recovers and rebuilds its own.

After the fires

… the fire still burns.

We began interviewing locals in Malibu to capture their heart stories, insights and lessons learned from their personal experiences of the Woolsey Fire. A frontier spirit, the heart - however wounded - still beats in Malibu.
