VISION & CONCEPT OF FILM

People want to be uplifted, inspired, have hope, address consciousness streams and be called to action. Watch this 1:37 sizzle:

Dare To Dream is a timely and important, culturally relevant cinematic mini movie in the form of a documentary which will use music and its’ visuals to motivate change and hope - within & without from a a world perspective which has and will continue to affect society. Going back to a timeless author like Virginia Woolf and to French sculptor Camille Claudel until today, we can dream!


The United States is founded on the concept of “Dare to Dream” – from our bold move to break away from England to our social movements of equality through the youth of today, Daring to Dream has been foundational in who we are as a people. Utilizing music, poetry, spoken word and other artist mediums the project, Dare to Dream showcases how artistes in all disciplines from music to literature and sculpture, are central to the changes we see today.

Originally conceived in 2021 when Proffer and his team were living in a universe different than today in 2025, we acknowledge that the world has changed. We plan to commence production in 2025 and have the mini movie documentary completed to exhibit at the end of 2026; beginning of 2027.

We believe this project will provide opportunities for audiences to get involved in their local communities to keep the needed changes going all while inspiring them to “Dare to Dream” as citizens have proven they do to influence society. In the same manner and spirit as Proffer’s John Coltrane documentary was narrated by Denzel Washington, we are talking about our film to be narrated by a prominent female music star (e.g. Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Andra Day or ….). From Common to Hillary Clinton…Robert Reich to Amy Klobuchar…Cornel West to Amanda Gorman…Barack Obama to Rosie O'Donnell and more…we will identify poignant, persuasive and powerful voices to help audiences dare to dream about a better future for them, their children, and future generations worldwide. 

VISION & CONCEPT OF THE DOCUMENTARY

Spencer and his team plan to highlight and anchor this 100 minutes upon the powerful songs as well as art that have shaped much of our pop culture. We will focus on the work as well as songs recorded and performed by women icons that speak to the theme of our documentary as well as timeless art that has led to creation.

Classics which have inspired hope and change will decorate a visual tapestry with re-imagined versions, performed by top female recording artists of today. Academy Award nominated songwriter, Dianne Warren, has written many of the songs which will be featured in this documentary.

These will decorate the visual tapestry which our film will create.

Our film will also feature Young spoken Word poets who will recite from their heart in addition to sharing lyrics from select songs. They will narrate via rhyme and urban rap to entwine the past and present together in a moving tribute which showcases the culture of today.

Exclusive interviews with many of America’s recognized female voices in entertainment (music, film, art and journalists) will expose the reality of what it means to be a dreamer in America today.

MARKETING & DISTRIBUTION

DISTRIBUTION – we have planned and solidified a long, evergreen and important tail:

  • The initial campaign can launch with a viral sizzle reel, showcasing the ethos and spirit of our film. In addition to a one event night (a model Proffer has pioneered for the past 20 years) on a minimum of 700 theatrical box office screens in both the US and abroad, we are planning for the sizzle reel teaser to air across the country on You Tube alongside a major national media outlet online, such as CNN, PBS, The Huffington Post, MSNBC and others.

  • On air radio and podcast cross promotions from Sirius XM in the US and other digital radio outlets around the world.

  • The narrative, documentary film as well as excerpts therefrom (to work as interstitial promos) will then exhibit on a meaningful streaming outlet.

  • Additional exposure platforms will all be able to embrace the episodes when our initial distribution partner and M17 determine it it timely.

MARKETING & PR

The marketing & publicity campaign will launch to coincide with the exhibition of the film. It will include social media, grassroots outreach, PR, and important and relevant influencers. Social Influencer participations from active consumers which M17 marketing will engage with prominent and successful participants. We plan this to reach worldwide audiences in multiple territories, given the state of affairs around the globe today.
