peace out productions is giving back by donating part of the proceeds from each film to a non-profit agency that works directly to benefit the individuals or organizations that are the subject matter of the film.
peace out productions was started in 2008 in Narragansett, RI by Patricia Federico, a television director with a background in news production, who wanted to create something more than the standard 2 minute segments which left viewers without enough information about the subject, or how it related to what was happening in the larger world.
After a visit to New Orleans in the spring of 2008 Patricia recognized that there were countless stories that still needed to be told by the survivors of hurricane Katrina who were then, and are now, struggling to rebuild their lives against huge odds.
peace out productions believes that by giving people’s voices wings, and releasing them to the world, there can be help, hope and healing for all concerned.
For more information on peace out productions please contact Patricia Federico.
