Partners See High Interest, Passion as Meetings Kick Off in L.A.

Ryan Ross is taking a production role with 12 Productions in moving the 12 Mighty Orphans project to film. Ryan's film production experience and background and his passion for the Mighty Orphans story makes him a key principal with feet on the ground in Los Angeles and he is excited about the reception that the project and partners are receiving as they meet with industry executives.

A resident of Beverly Hills, Ryan is right in the heart of the film industry in Los Angeles and he has been spending the last month setting up meetings and getting the story into the hands of film industry executives interested in being part of the production team. All four partners of 12 Productions have just returned from a round of meetings in L.A. and are amazed at the level of intense interest and passion they have encountered.

"We knew this would make a great film but it is awesome to see that others in the film industry get the story and see the potential, too," Ryan says, adding that all partners were astounded at the reception they received, especially as first-time producers. The 12 Production partners hope to have an announcement very soon regarding a joint production arrangement with a major company.

Ross receieved his undergraduate degree in film from the University of Texas and he brings not only his acting experience and passion for film to the project, but he has most recently worked at Imagine Entertainment prior to taking the production role with 12 Productions for this project. Ross' film experience brings a skill set unique to the partnership. Ross is wanting to produce the best film possible that will not only satisfy the people who lived this story, but will inspire a nation at a time when they need it most...just like the Mighty Mites. He will continue to oversee the development for the film.
