A Bit About SHADOWHOPE FILMS
Shadowhope Films focuses on stories of hope tested, of people whose faith guides them through incredible hardships and struggles, from the shadow of hope to the other side.


Matt and Nate started Shadowhope specifically to work on projects like "Fight Like Ana"
Their work on
FLA was done free of charge. They donated their time for pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution in an effort to share the Wakefield family’s powerful story. With the help of the Wakefield family, they raised over $11,000 to fund production expenses.
