Stories Designed to Move People.

AMOR Umbrella Original Films & Studio creates documentary projects and visual storytelling that explore the experiences behind the headlines— bringing attention to transition, human resilience, mental health awareness, identity, and community restoration.

01

Original Documentary Storytelling

We develop original films that give real people space to share their experiences, challenges, turning points, and pathways forward. Our work is rooted in authentic conversations and purposeful storytelling rather than simply documenting an issue.

  • Impact Documentaries
  • Human-Centered Stories
  • Military Transition
  • Suicide Prevention
02

Storytelling With Purpose

Each project is developed with the larger audience and community impact in mind. We connect cinematic storytelling with conversations, screenings, education, partnerships, and opportunities for people to take meaningful action.

  • Mental Health Awareness
  • Veteran & Military Communities
  • Identity & Resilience
  • Hope & Community
Our Approach

Cinematic storytelling is the starting point—not the ending. AMOR Umbrella develops projects that can continue beyond the screen through community conversations, educational engagement, private screenings, festivals, partnerships, and other opportunities that help transform awareness into action.

Story Authentic experiences at the center.
Impact Stories connected to meaningful issues.
Connection Creating space for conversation.
Action Moving audiences toward possibility.

Community + Cinema + Purpose

Festival Circuits & Private Screenings

AMOR Umbrella Original Films creates opportunities for meaningful stories to reach audiences through film festivals, private screenings, campus programs, community events, and mission-aligned conversations. Our goal is to move original productions beyond the screen and into spaces where stories can inspire connection, awareness, and action.

Screening & Festival Strategy

Bringing Impact Stories Beyond the Screen.

AMOR Umbrella uses film festivals, private screenings, educational programs, and community events as pathways for original productions to reach new audiences and create meaningful conversations.

From Keep On Living to future AMOR Umbrella productions, these experiences are designed to do more than present a film. They create opportunities for audiences to engage with the story, explore the issues presented, hear community perspectives, connect with resources, and discover pathways toward connection, purpose, and hope.

AMOR Umbrella Event
LaBelle Film Festival

A Festival Built Around Film, Storytelling & Culture.

LaBelle Film Festival is an AMOR Umbrella event created to bring Keep On Living and other AMOR Umbrella original productions into the festival circuit.

The festival creates a cinematic platform where filmmakers, storytellers, creatives, communities, and audiences can come together through film. It is designed to support independent filmmakers, community storytellers, emerging creatives, and military-connected filmmakers who have stories, perspectives, and creative work to share.

The festival is not limited to a single production. As AMOR Umbrella continues developing original films and visual storytelling projects, LaBelle Film Festival provides a home within the AMOR ecosystem for those productions to reach audiences and enter broader festival conversations.

At the same time, the festival provides an opportunity to welcome independent voices from outside the AMOR Umbrella production slate, creating a broader community around film, storytelling, culture, creativity, and purpose.
