Southern Time Productions

Art That Heals. Stories That Transform.

A Music and Film Streaming Platform and Private Community

At Southern Time Productions, we believe art can change the world for the better. It’s that simple. We make content with a conscience, because what you choose to consume inevitably consumes you.

Today there’s no shortage of mindless streaming and social media. Some of it is entertaining, but it’s not what we choose to make. We respect our audience, and we believe our content should reflect a more informed, globally minded and socially conscious world.

Through fiction and non-fiction, and through our own streaming platform and private community — one that will never track you or sell your information — we’ll encourage people to become more self-aware and more engaged with the health, social and environmental issues that shape our world.

It starts with Dreamer, a TV drama based on our founder’s life, and The Promise, the band behind its music.

Are we idealistic? Absolutely. We believe the world holds limitless potential for growth, and that art and technology can drive positive change.

“Southern Time” means it’s time for the Global South to shine. The term is open to interpretation, but for us it includes anyone who has been marginalized, disenfranchised, discriminated against or abused. In short, equality for all.

Thoughts create reality. Art is an extension of thought, and it can spark global movements that change our world for the better.

Dreamer Series

The Promise is the rock band for the cinematic rock musical – soon to be in production – for the Dreamer series. The Dreamer series tells the true-to-life story of how Dreamer acquired HIV and what living with it has been like for him. The Dreamer series also serves as an archetypical question of what everybody faces to one degree or another – that being – will the Dreamer ever realize his dreams?

Timothy Bartsch, founder/creator, and director of ‘Dreamer’ explains the artistic and personal motivations behind directing the promotional trailer.

Documentary

‘Spots of light’ is a digital documentary that looks at how Tim Bartsch discovered he was HIV positive and his spiritual journey to finding light in his darkest hours.
