Grace Surpasses is a story about perseverance in a country where peace is an ancient relic and hope is a dangerous luxury. In Southern Sudan, Grace's family lives in constant fear of violence. With nowhere to hide, each new day brings the potential for danger. By focusing on the experiences of one child, we get a glimpse into the day-to-day realities of life in Southern Sudan, where the absence of clean drinking water, public health, and a consistent food supply make even the most basic necessities of life a constant struggle. Despite the hardship, Grace and her family manage to thrive in the face adversity – until a personal tragedy threatens to destroy Grace’s hope.
Grace Surpasses was built and filmed not only for film festivals/DVD sales, but also for live performances. The score to our film Grace Surpasses is extremely powerful and greatly compliments the films non-verbal dialogue state. Seeing the film projected with a live band interacting with the story of the film is an experiment we're glad to take on knowing that this mixed media performance will raise many eyebrows. We're always looking for new bands to take on Grace Surpasses and adapt the score to their genre. Please see the "Band Inquiry" tab to learn more.

Above are just a few of the illustrations that Nadus Films will be using in its film Grace Surpasses. These illustrations will be animated to serve as the back story to the main character who’s name is Grace. This will be a 4-6 min intro to the film. We’ve been very fortunate and privaledged to work with Yvonne Herbst on this part of the film. Yvonne worked for Pixar for 10 years and was heavily involved in films such as Cars, Monsters Inc., Ratatouille, Toy Story and more! Enjoy the work that Yvonne and Nadus Films have set out to accomplish together.
Band Inquiry
Grace Surpasses is being built and packaged in a way where approved bands could have the opportunity to tour with the film. We believe a live performance of Grace Surpasses will be an extremely powerful opportunity to display the quality of the film and score to this project. With that said, we’re desiring to find bands who would adopt this project under Nadus Films and tour with it and perform the score in their own genre. Currently, the band Interstates will be touring the project locally, so the title of the set would be “Interstates performs Grace Surpasses”. If you have an established band and would like to inquire about partnering with Nadus Films in this format contact us below.
The New Sudan is a full length documentary about the struggle and story about Southern Sudan. The documentary was filmed entirely on the ground in Southen Sudan, a country in east Africa that has been ravaged by war and struggle over the last half century. Nadus Films was born because of seeing this story and desiring to tell it to the world.
Our objective with this released film is to bring both awareness and action to the now new nation of Southern Sudan and to provide real help to rebuild this war-town nation. The New Sudan is a documentary that educates its viewers on the history of their civil war and the struggle that resulted because of it. Our profits from this film go directly to action in relief, aid, and funding to areas like clean water, education, medical needs and other types of development in that country. We have built water wells, and provided educational materials, medical supplies, and more to our partners in southern sudan because of the profits and awareness that came from this film. The story of Southern Sudan is close to our hearts, the people and friends we meet there asked us particularly to tell their story. We are proud of this work and we hope you find the story and fight of Southern Sudan something that stirs your heart and mind toward action as it did ours.
