Anthony Laura started Face to Face Films in order to focus on smaller films about real people. It's his hope as a filmmaker to take stories about people that are not regularly understood and give them a voice. Today, Face to Face supports the Julia Initiative, an outreach service of the company designed to help cast, crew, and even audience in need with help in finding essential services. https://www.facetofacefilms.net/
