Virginia Bay is a short, silent film about a woman that is very successful, however she suffers from mental health issues. This project is our attempt to continue the conversation, save some lives, and encourage those dealing with mental health illness to seek help. We want to emphasis the importance of paying attention to our loved ones and especially the "strong" ones. We've included a link of us speaking about how we were inspired to write and produce this film.

  Co-founders, Ashley Jones-Hampton and Afrieya "Starr" James formed SAB LAB Creative Agency, LLC. in 2018 for a total 20 years combined experience. Ashe's love for the art of filmmaking has catapulted her creativity for visual storytelling and has set the stage for a long-term career in directing and filming. Starr's background in music and business helped connect the dots in production thereby extending her career in film and tv in front of and behind the camera. Their common backgrounds made their partnership seamless. They have made great efforts in investing in their company by having the latest equipment, upgraded software and professional tools, as well as endure continuous education on new practices and techniques. Specializing in planning and coordinating various aspects of film production, SAB is solely responsible for developing, planning, and executing each step of Virginia Bay's production.

  Although it is our passion project, we have definite cost that will be incurred and we will share a production report after the final edit. We also plan to enter fall festivals and will need various marketing materials in order to successfully make an impact amongst the public. We have hired a professional actress, Nakesha Williams as the lead. Mrs. Williams is owner of a children's talent agency, featured in an array of commercials, and maintains a long career in acting and singing. As soon as our campaign is engaged, we are going to have a casting call immediately for supporting cast and extras. The money raised will be used for 2 main location spaces (an extravagant loft and art gallery), payroll for cast and crew, craft services, and post-production including music production, sound design, color correction, final editing, and deliverables.
