An Open Door: Healing Through Creativity

WHITE ROCK, British Columbia - May 23, 2025 - PRLog -- "An Open Door" Film Project Launches on Indiegogo to Highlight Rehabilitation Through Art

White Rock, Canada – May 23, 2025 – An Open Door, a powerful new independent film inspired by real-life events, has officially launched its crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. The story follows a committed art teacher caught in a prison riot, who must draw on his deepest convictions to guide others—and himself—toward hope and change. Based on the true experiences of Peter Daniels, who taught fine arts in a Canadian correctional facility in the 1970s, the film explores the often-overlooked role of creative rehabilitation.

With a funding goal of $500,000 CAD, An Open Door aims to spark conversations around prison reform and the healing potential of art.

"This film is about giving people a second chance," says Peter Daniels, creator and producer. "Art has the power to heal, uplift, and redirect lives. That's what I witnessed firsthand in the prison system, and what we hope to share through this project."

A Deeper Story

A unique element of the film is the influence of a mentor from Daniels' past—a woman whose spiritual guidance helped him through a dangerous time, including testifying against a biker gang. Her writings, archived at the University of British Columbia Library, reflect her contribution to Canadian spiritual literature. Learn more at https://www.olgapark.com.
