LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Films Inc. ("Vision") announces the North American Transactional VOD release of the heartwarming family drama Spirit of Friendship on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. The story, a touching lesson on dealing with loss and grief for children, was inspired by the real-life experience of cast member-siblings Delaney ("Emma") and Christian Miclette ("Lance") and the loss of their mother. Spirit of Friendship was written, produced, and directed by Danny LeGare, produced by George Lyon, John Anderson, and Desmond Faison, and executive produced by Daniel John. The film was shot on location in South Windsor and Stafford Springs, CT, in the afternoons after the teen cast's school hours.

Synopsis: Told through the reminiscences of a father (Jeremy London) trying to help his own tween children with their grief,  a young boy attempts to contact his deceased mother with the help of his friends. When a mysterious man appears, seemingly only visible to him, his friends think he is going crazy. The discussions young "Billy" has with "Leonard" teaches him to cherish relationships with his own friends, and how to navigate loss, love, and eternal connections.

Filmmaker Danny LeGare shares, "The work that I put into this film was some of the most important work I have ever done in my career. It's not just a film to entertain, it is a film with a heart.
