Pathlight Entertainment

Pathlight Entertainment
CMA Convention Exhibitor

Pathlight Entertainment LLC is a Limited Liability Corporation registered in the State of Texas to engage in the development and production of major motion pictures for potential release in all domestic and foreign theatrical, secondary and ancillary markets. The stories they tell will be faith-based and family-honoring, bringing insight and inspiration to their audience. Knowing that movies have an influence on our culture, they desire to be a trusted source of edifying and uplifting entertainment to all demographics.

Pathlight Entertainment is the company that made Beyond the Farthest Star. Starring Renee O'Connor, Todd Terry, Cherami Leigh, Barry Corbin, William McNamara, Tyler Corie, Andrew Prine, Lou Betty Jr. and Shawn Roe, the film tells the story of a twist of fate that brings the national spotlight to a forgotten Texas town and a once famous preacher has an opportunity to regain his former glory or seize one last chance to restore his fractured family. Narrated by his fifteen-year-old daughter, we watch as Adam Wells, a minister driven by the prospect of achieving greatness as the next nationally-syndicated TV Evangelist lays down his opportunity at “celebrity” and even his own life in order to become something even greater... A loving husband and father to his wife and daughter.

Written and directed by Andrew Librizzi and produced by Benjamin Dane and Sally Helppie, the movie had a successful premiere in the Dallas area. A wider theatrical release will be announced soon, and there are rumors that Librizzi is working on another film project. More news to come...

Film & Movies Track

Sally Helppie, a graduate of the UCLA School of Law, is a practicing entertainment lawyer and feature film producer. She represents parties in high-budget Hollywood productions (e.g., Hugo, The Tourist) and in smaller projects and television (e.g., Anger Management, Children’s Medical Center). She has produced four feature films in Texas (e.g., Beyond the Farthest Star) since 2007 and teaches the semester-long Producers’ Seminar course at SMU.

Sally will be teaching a Saturday morning class from 10:30-noon on "Introduction to Entertainment Law: What to know before you shoot". Creating a feature film, a documentary, a short or a webisode is exciting. But what happens if you can never show it outside your own living room because you failed to nail down the necessary rights?

Learn about the steps you need to take before you pick up the camera. Lock down your rights in the script, the performances and the music. This is necessary for financing on the front end and distribution on the back end.

This class will include an overview of copyright and trademark law, script clearance and chain of title, with time for asking your own questions.
