Seeing Rachel Has A YouTube Channel!

We are delighted to let you know that “Seeing Rachel” has a YouTube Channel, dedicated to the film: http://www.youtube.com/@SeeingRachel-hcp 

Sandra and Geoff have been interviewing the CEOs from charities working with the survivors of human trafficking, as well as notable filmmakers, as we tease out the need for stories driven by a sense of social responsibility.

On the channel is a short series called ‘In Sight’, which unpacks not just Seeing Rachel’s emphasis on social impact entertainment, but also the means of raising consciousness and achieving social change.

Sandra also has a series of ‘Soundbites’ where she highlights her responsibilities as Executive Producer and the visions and values that we have for the film.

Part of our strategy is to adopt a charity in both the UK and US and for the UK we have chosen ‘Unseen UK’ based in Bristol. We interviewed Andrew Wallis - their CEO - and you can find it here https://youtu.be/rhDHeFkxlAs 

Sandra Isabel Correia has been appointed Executive Producer of the film “Seeing Rachel”

international imaginists and the Producers of Seeing Rachel, the Bristol-based human trafficking film, are delighted to announce the appointment of Sandra Isabel Correia as Executive Producer.

Sandra is an award-winning European businesswoman and brings her business expertise to the production. This is what Sandra had to say: 

“Taking on the role of Executive Producer for Seeing Rachel is both an honour and a responsibility. This film in development from Geoff Hall, the writer and director, sheds light on the harrowing reality of human trafficking, a subject that demands our attention and action.”

”As a woman in film, I am proud to contribute to an industry where female voices are increasingly shaping narratives that matter. Through storytelling, we aim to amplify the voices of survivors and inspire change, proving once again the power of cinema to confront injustice and spark dialogue.” - Sandra Isabel Correia

Welcome to the team Sandra!

Are you looking at me? i-i at Tribeca Lisbon

international imaginists attended the first-ever Tribeca-Lisbon Film Festival, with Seeing Rachel’s Executive Producer Sandra Isabel Correia.

Sandra was on the organising committee for the festival and this gave us access to the VIP Lounge, where we met Robert De Niro.

It was also a great opportunity to share i-i’s strategy for Seeing Rachel, a story about human trafficking and targeted for high social impact. 

The festival generated much excitement from fellow filmmakers and it was exciting to get personal reactions to the first i-i film in development. We can see the world-wide potential not just for the film, but also for our new company international imaginists;

Tribeca-Lisbon has become then, a catalyst for a culture shift and important milestone, for our production company; moving from a UK to an International concern.

And look who we met??! The legendary Robert DeNiro!!

i-i at the Focus.London tradeshow

international imaginists attended the Focus.London tradeshow, where we met three-times Emmy Nominated Producer Sam Sokolow.

Sam has been nominated for his National Geographic show, Genius, and is Director of Education at Stage 32, where Sam and writer-director-producer Geoff Hall, first met.

Stage32 is responsible for nurturing Hall’s writing over the years and has given him the confidence to start international imaginists, to address the many injustices in evidence in the world. i-i is aiming for an impact not just in the film industry but also in society.

At Focus.London, i-i not only met Sam, but had meetings with:

Búi Baldvinsson - Hero Productions, Iceland

Mia Mendoza – Film Development Council of The Philippines

Laura Aviles – The Bottleyard Studios, Bristol

Melvin Finn – IFM Studios (London and Istanbul)

Andrej Car – Yamdu (Croatia)

Gareth Kirkman – British Film Commission

Ben Richards – Animus Pictures (The Producer of Seeing Rachel)

“SEEING RACHEL” now in development.

Seeing Rachel, our first feature film, is now in development. The film is set in Bristol, but we are looking to work with international production companies as well as production and post-production services.

The Production Team has been joined by Sandra Isabel Correia, an award-winning businesswoman from Lisbon Portugal. Sandra is responsible for raising the development funding for the film and then realising the full production budget.

If you are an investor/sponsor, we are actively searching for funding from Donor Advised Funds, or equity shares in a single purpose vehicle for this production.

My long-term relationship with seasoned film Producer, Ben Richards (Animus Pictures) will be reinforced, as we join together to bring this film to your screens.
