Healing Films LLC
Jeri Devale, Ph.D. –President

Healing Films LLC is a motion picture company formed in 2014 by a dedicated psychologist and licensed marriage and family counselor in an effort to bring more healing films to the world while at the same time bringing profit to investors. Dr. Jeri DeVale is not only a psychotherapist and marriage and family counselor for over 30 years, but she has also been an organizational development specialist and change and effective expert for corporations and organizations of all kinds. There she dealt with strategic planning, effective communication-both intra-psychic and interdepartmental, team and trust building, project management, recruiting, staffing, and all elements of human resource and business development. Jeri is known for simultaneously bringing about the combination of health and healing, business effectiveness and profit to these organizations. Besides having a Ph.D. in Clinical and Organizational Psychology, she has a BFA in Theater Arts. Jeri was an actress and director for over 20 years before she became a psychotherapist. She not only knows the business side, the people side, but she also knows the creative side of acting, directing and writing.

Dr. DeVale has picked a winning team of very experienced producers, attorneys, tax advisors. She has on her staff exceptional talent and two award winning writers and producers. We also have a feature film producer here in Florida, Diane Foti, who has been a successful line producer and production manager for many years, producing in all areas Feature Films, Shorts, Movies of the week, TV series, Reality Pilot, Commercials, Infomercials, and Music Videos. Dr. DeVale picked her for her reputation to come in on time and on-budget, an example of this is 88 episodes of the equalizer.

There is also Jonathan G. Chambers who has been in the film business as a producer, first AD and line producer for over 30 years. He has had exceptional notes of recommendations. He has a long list of movies and clients he has worked with… I picked him for his attention to detail. There is also Melissa Gruver who has worked on 13 features and two TV shows. I picked her for her excellent communication skills and her ability to work fast under pressure, be responsive, beat time-limits, be clear with her communication with me and for her extensive professional achievements and skills in many different areas, her ability to network and her platform skills. While we won’t need all of these producers they won’t all be available for the shoot as they are all in high demand… but we will always have a minimum of two producers aboard to keep ourselves covered at all times.

Until recently, the industry has been controlled by the major studios, making investment opportunities in individual films generally unavailable to the public. But due to the increased demand for American made films worldwide and the development of new markets-250 new formats, like network, pay services on cable/satellite television, internet streaming , DVD and BluRay markets, and many others. There is a tremendous shortfall of quality product. The growth of all these markets has created a demand, which cannot be met by the studios alone. These major studios and distribution companies now rely on independently financed films to fill this void.

Although the major studios have large budgets, many have had a careless attitude towards spending which has resulted in budget wastes and cost overruns. “Bigger” is not always “better”. Facts show that an independent film can be produced for less than ten million dollars and still not sacrifice quality production values. The range usually is 2.5 million to 10 million. This is possible today when new production technology is coupled with a no frills, back to basics business attitude. We believe this business methodology creates a viable investment for the high risk investor. This coupled with incredible tax incentives which have been renewed now for one more year. So any film made in 2011 will get those federal tax incentives plus Florida raised their rebate to 20%. Our attorney is an expert in these statues and has himself executive produced many films… he speaks all over the world on all aspect of filmmaking.

Healing Films welcomes you to the exciting world of feature length healing films. Although we cannot guarantee you a profit, you will have the opportunity to take part in this highly unique investment vehicle which has unlimited profit potential.
