Appellate Films, LLC is a limited liability company formed in April 2017 to finance, produce and distribute 60 motion pictures including 48 90-minute documentaries and 12 feature films over the next (6) six years and beyond.

Each film will be a feature length motion picture intended for PG-13 to R rated audiences. The films will be promoted to mainstream audiences and select niche audiences based on their respective factual and dramatic content. In addition, the documentary films will be marketed heavily to interested grassroots audiences that identify themselves strongly with center right political affiliations, Republicans and Libertarians, traditional Catholics, evangelicals, prolife activists, and strong faith and family values movements.

Once completed, each film is expected to be released in select United States and foreign markets for exhibition in theatres and via home video, television, cable and satellite networks, and via online distribution over wired and wireless services. The Company expects to enter into one or more third party domestic and international distribution agreement(s) with unaffiliated third party distributors, which may occur during development and production of the Picture or after completion of the Picture. The company has distributed documentaries previously with a distributor (Fathom Events) and has already secured from them an LOI (Letter of Interest) in our portfolio of films.

Appellate believes there is a vast audience for documentaries and feature films espousing conservative principles. The changing political landscape, as evidenced in the recent presidential election, only serves to underscore that belief. Equally important is the success of Christian film producers who have attained huge financial success appealing to basic Christian, and conservative beliefs. Company was formed to target that vast market, domestically and in selected foreign areas, by producing documentaries of important persons and political luminaries, and mid and high budget feature films with Christian and conservative themes.

The underlying production principle for Company is to address a diverse set of topics with a rapid production scale so as to minimize overall risk of poorly receptive films and encounter the higher probability of producing one or several hugely successful films. Organized in such manner, Company shall operate as a producer of a portfolio of such documentary films, allowing investors to reap the benefits of operating gains from the entirety of the portfolio in contrast to assuming the gain or loss from any one particular stand-alone film model.

One of the most respected orators of our time, Alan Keyes has long been recognized for his leadership within the conservative movement. His eloquent advocacy of our Constitutional Republic and championing of pro-liberty, pro-life principles undergird Alan’s respect for the moral basis of freedom and responsible self-government.

In addition to the foregoing individuals, the production will engage outside contractors and vendors to supply necessary marketing, public relations and business expertise. Some of our film works are biographical and will therefore require working closely with the protagonist subject. For example: Mercedes Arzú Wilson and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The works listed below are 100% written, narrated, and produced by our Principle, Craig Bergman. Beyond the scope of our internally produced documentaries and feature films below, Appellate is engaged in multiple production and distributions for films created or written by outside companies and individuals.
