FILMMAKERS FOR FREEDOM

As producer of the daring anti-fascist drama-romance-thriller Ticket to Kyiv, and the historical drama short The Road to Casablanca, Pacifico Studios is proud to announce the formation of FILMMAKERS FOR FREEDOM, the first organization of filmmakers to directly confront the rising tide of global fascism.

FILMMAKERS FOR FREEDOM is inspired by the “Hollywood Anti-Nazi League," the group founded in 1936 by many of the leading actors, writers, directors, and producers, with the assistance of studio heads like Jack and Harry Warner, and patriotic groups like the American Legion. Although the HANL was and still is criticized as a “front” for the Communist Party USA, the Warners were staunch Republicans and the American Legon opposed the very thought of a Soviet takeover of the United States.

By organizing as independent and independent-minded artists, we can resist any attempt to take over our industry, drive its best minds out, and turn it into a tool of oppression and domination against the freedom and civil rights of the people of the United States and the other nations aspiring to democracy.
