About Me

We co-founded LIVE FREE OR DIE FILMS to produce independent films that will inspire audiences. Every year we see a few films that really move us. They keep us in our seats even after the credits have ended. We bring all our friends with us when we see them for a second or third time. They stay with us well beyond the theater and inspire us to think, to talk and to even make our own films.

Using the cinematic backdrop of New England, LIVE FREE OR DIE FILMS is dedicated to producing meaningful films that will offer a lasting impression upon audiences.~ Shauna Phelan and Chris Stinson Co-Founders, LIVE FREE OR DIE FILMS
