There is HOPE.

Southern Time Productions is a music and film, social media, and social innovation company based in Toronto producing and distributing socially conscious music and film, and community will to accelerate public awareness and action to help solve global health, social, and environmental concerns.

Beginning in 2005 with the production of openly HIV-positive musician Timothy Bartsch’s rock opera ‘Southern Time’ as a multimedia stage production in Vancouver, BC, STP has been working to produce the Southern Time story – now named the ‘Dreamer’ series – in cinematic form.

The company is now looking for funds to get the Southern Time Band performing and recording and to begin preproduction of ‘Dreamer, Season One‘.

OUR SOCIAL MISSION

As a social impact company, Southern Time Productions holds its health, social, and environmental aspirations as high as its profit motive. When speaking to our fans and giving interviews, the Southern Time Band’s mission will be to encourage HIV prevention and testing, decrease HIV stigma and criminalization, and demand improved treatment for all people living with HIV. It also will press for a functional cure for everyone who is HIV positive. Part of the proceeds from Southern Time Productions will go to the Southern Time Foundation, which will fund crucial HIV/AIDS-reduction initiatives worldwide. Timothy Bartsch founded the Southern Time Foundation in February 2020. It also seeks funds to begin operations. With the monies generated from album and concert sales, merchandise, sponsorships, donations, and other means, STP will produce the Dreamer series in cinematic form over the 2020s.

While and after the Dreamer series‘ distributes, Southern Time Productions will help other artists create and disseminate their music and film works harmoniously with Southern Time’s core mission.
