Testimonials
& Awards

I loved working with Darla! She is the real deal! Her purpose is to inspire hope, ignite change, and collaborate with others to give voice to stories that might otherwise go unheard. She helps change the world with love!

Award-winning storyteller. I look forward to editing with her soon.

Her unique style and interpersonal skills keep me coming back. She respects and listens to what her team has to say, which fosters a desire for the team to invest equally in her projects.

As a producing partner at Film It Productions I have worked with Darla not only in film and video but stage productions as well. I’ve always known her to be compassionate, kind and generous with her time to help develop young talent. She brings integrity to every project.

Persistence is Darla’s theme for making projects and her dreams come true. No is not an option. Darla understands the business side of filmmaking which distinguishes her from 90% of everyone else in the business.

So lucky to call her my mentor who has guided me on the right path to success.

When we work on a project, we are on the same page creatively, feeding off each other, and can almost literally finish each other’s sentences and visions. It doesn’t matter what the project is, she brings the same creative integrity, passion and dedication.

After nearly 25 years of working with Darla and Film It Productions, I can honestly say she leads with both precision and integrity. She delivers on time, on budget, and without compromising on quality. From a strategic standpoint, she’s exceptionally reliable.

I’ve known and worked with Darla for at least 15 years. She’s very professional, organized and a phenomenal writer-director. She knows how to get things done even when obstacles arise. If she calls me on a project, I don’t even need to ask questions because I know I’m in good hands.

Darla’s creative vision for Film It comes to life when her director skills and knack for ‘just the right shot’ join in tandem. She focuses on the best use of time and resources to highlight her flair for originality, individual expression and human connection. Her guidance on set provides an avenue for laughter, camaraderie and sense of purpose. Darla’s unique talents and style are second to none!

Stories That
Move People

Film It Productions is an award-winning production company creating films that do more than entertain — they transform lives. Every project we take on is rooted in truth, faith, and the perseverance of the human spirit, crafted with a clear purpose: to inspire hope, ignite change, and give voice to stories that would otherwise go untold.

At the heart of Film It is founder Darla Rae, a Producer, Director, and Screenwriter, whose work has earned recognition from film festivals and industry organizations across the country. But the truest measure of impact isn't found on an awards shelf. It's found in the audiences who leave the theater not just changed, but empowered, carrying these stories into their communities, their conversations, and their lives. It's found in the cast and crew who pour themselves into every frame with the same conviction that put it on the page.

Current and upcoming projects, including Chili for Christmas, inspired by one simple act of kindness — reflect our continued commitment to meaningful storytelling drawn from true events. Audiences today are actively seeking this kind of content: authentic, inspiring, grounded in family values. Faith-based and inspirational films continue to perform strongly across streaming platforms, church and community screenings, and independent theatrical releases. The demand is real, and it's growing.

This is more than filmmaking. It's a mission, a movement, and we're inviting investors, brand partners, sponsors, and collaborators who believe in the power of storytelling to be part of the journey. Together, we can bring life-changing stories to the screen, and into the hearts of audiences everywhere.
