Budget for The Silent Song
The First Film in the Florida Martyrs Series
This budget reflects the costs required to produce The Silent Song, the first film in our Florida Martyrs Film Series. Ongoing support is needed to finance the entire series.
Total Budget for Phase One: The Silent Song: $445,000
🟩 Donated: $290,000
🟥 Need: $155,000
The Silent Song tells the story of Fr. Luis Cancer—a Dominican priest whose peaceful mission ended in martyrdom. His witness of mercy and courage invites us to rediscover the power of love that suffers without retaliation.
While this is our immediate goal, our mission extends far beyond one film. To bring the full series to life — honoring the martyrs’ witness through multiple stories — we rely on ongoing support from mission partners like you.
