HOUSTON??"Award-winning short filmmaker Taylor Gahm has released the teaser trailer for his debut feature film Be Not Afraid!, a dramatic comedy based on his TED talk, “The Gift of Inadequacy.”

The trailer can be viewed at benotafraidmovie.com.

Gahm is a seasoned storyteller with credits such as TED, Creative Mornings, and stand-up comedy at the Houston Improv Comedy Club.

Be Not Afraid! is a dramatic comedy in the vein of what Gahm describes as It's a Wonderful Life meets Dumb and Dumber.

According to the film's logline, Be Not Afraid! is about a “gang of misfit angels sent to help a man whose personal and professional life is falling apart??"but most of the time ‘helping out’ looks a lot like ‘making things worse.’”

Be Not Afraid! was recently awarded the 2015 Houston Filmmaker Grant by the Houston Arts Alliance??"a US $30,000 matching funds grant for a Houston filmmaker whose work shows excellence and promise in long-form narrative storytelling.

Gahm partnered with several major film industry companies such as Zacuto, Portabrace, Promise Technology, Red Giant and Atomos to bring the film to life. Sponsors of the film also include KIND, Buffalo Bayou Brewery and Smilebooth.
