Quentin Blue (2025)
Documentary | 27 minutes | Feature-Length in Development
Written & Directed by Lane Michael Stanley
How a band formed by lifers in San Quentin became a symbol of hope on the outside.
Status
We have completed a 27-minute short documentary which we have screened inside San Quentin and through community events. We are now asking our community for support in creating a feature documentary that can dive deeper into restorative justice frameworks and the band’s story. See the flier for our fundraising goals!
