The F.I.L.M. Project

PhotoMerchant is pleased to announce the sponsorship of Family Images for Lasting Memories or the F.I.L.M. Project. The F.I.L.M. Project donates professional family portraits to cancer patients and terminally ill patients through a network of volunteer photographers throughout the US.

“we believe that by sharing our gifts, we can inspire healing, faith, and hope to these families during their most fragile times.” ~ Leah Hoskins, Founder and President

The F.I.L.M. Project aims to provide comfort to families facing the possibility of losing a loved one by offering them a way to honour and cherish their loved ones for generations. Project volunteers travel to homes, hospices or hospitals to conduct private portrait sessions. The photos are professionally retouched and presented to families on an archival DVD that can be used to create prints.

Because PhotoMerchant is passionate about supporting local photographers who support their local community, we’re offering project volunteers 50% off any PhotoMerchant package for six months. To lend your time and skills, please contact Leah at info@thefilmproject.net to register as a volunteer. Leah will provide you with the promotion code for the discount.
