Two Steps from Hope

While the script for "Two Steps From Hope" was written by Justin Landis, the story itself was a collaborative effort of the students of Gaffer Media. The class initially broke into three focus groups & developed three unique stories. Each group produced a teaser trailer for it's proposed film, and the trailers were screened at a public community event where viewers were able to cast votes on which film they wanted to see. After "Two Steps From Hope" (originally called "Two Doors Down") won the vote contest, the class unified, and, through multiple creative group sessions, wrote the story. "Two Steps From Hope" is a film written by teens, for teens.
