Cannot wait!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We’re thrilled to finally answer the two most anticipated questions: “When will To Dye For: The Documentary be released?” and “Where can we watch the documentary?” ✨
Many people assume we have a big studio, a massive marketing budget, and a full team behind this project. But the truth is, this film has been 100% grassroots. My husband Brandon and I—just the two of us—self-funded this documentary using a portion of our savings, alongside the incredible support of 340 backers from our crowdfunding campaign. 🤝 This film was made with shares, prayers, and the unwavering belief that these stories need to be told.
As first-time filmmakers, we felt deeply compelled to share the truth about the risks of synthetic dyes after discovering our son’s life-altering sensitivity. For the past 2.5 years, we’ve poured everything we have into this project—while working our “day jobs” 💻—and sacrificing so much because YOU believed in us, YOU shared, and GOD guided us every step of the way. 🙏
Together, with the support of our amazing community, we traveled across the US and EU, interviewing leading experts and families profoundly impacted by synthetic dyes. Brandon and I wore every hat—we booked, directed, filmed, edited, composed music, created animations, shot b-roll, and managed all the marketing.
You’ve been with us through it all: the crowdfunding campaigns, the insurance, the legal logistics ⚖️, and the winding road to distribution. When we asked you to pray for swift distribution, GOD moved mountains! ⛰️🙏 Not one, but TWO distributors believed in this mission enough to make a bold and counterintuitive choice: fast-tracking this film for public release instead of taking the traditional (and more profitable) route of spending the first year in festivals, extended theatrical runs, and educational circuits. So, we’ve sped past those and have moved much quicker than most films, especially indie films.
✨ The wait is over! We’re SO excited to announce that To Dye For: The Documentary will officially release on January 14, 2025! 🎉
📺 It will be available for rent or purchase on: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Fandango at Home, and Vimeo on Demand
