A Chance for Peace is officially en route to Graz, Austria for its FIRST EVER international film festival screening at the Four Elements Festival!
We at ACFP are SO psyched about this!
Looking forward to sharing with you the video they will be viewing very soon.
Stay tuned!
ACFP GOES TO AUSTRIA!
Recently we got an email from a producer of the Four Elements Festival expressing interest in A Chance for Peace.
The festival and convention, a global celebration of Hip Hop Culture & Street Arts, will take place this year in Graz, Austria and ACFP has been personally requested to screen as part of the street art film festival, in appreciation of our profile of Kenyan messanger of peace and street artist “Solo 7”.
AWESOME, right? We’re psyched.
Here’s a clip of what will screen in Austria next month, making ACFP’s international debut and a very special thanks to Solo 7 for his message and his art.
Getting VERY excited! ACFP is reborn - I’m going to apply for the Sundance Documentary Film Grant.
$20,000? Sure, why not?

HOW IT ALL STARTED…
It all started with one trip, one decision, one love.

A CHANCE FOR PEACE IS BACK!
Originally started in the spring of 2008 as a response to Kenya’s post-election violence, the A Chance for Peace non-profit documentary film project took a seriously blow following its summer 2009 production.
About two weeks after I (director and producer Tyler Batson) returned to the States the loft space I was living and working in caught fire and burnt down. Blessed to have my health and most of my material possessions intact, I was nevertheless displaced and without a home.
The past year since that pivotal night, I have come to empathize with the subjects - now my friends - I profiled in Kenya (along with filmmaker Frank Kraljic). They too knew what it was like to suddenly be without shelter and displaced from their loved ones.
True, my circumstances were quite different, but I believe that everything happens for a reason and the reason for my absence from this project for the past year is clear: I had to truly appreciate what it means to struggle to fully and truly represent the strength of the Kenyan spirit.
So let’s all get out there a create A Chance for Peace!
A thousand thank yous for all your support!
