Experienced in education and business development strategies, Indiana entrepreneur Thomas Stoughton works with a diversity of consulting clients. Community focused, Thomas Stoughton was among those who helped launch the Heartland Film Festival, which has been running annually in Indianapolis for nearly three decades.
One unique short featured at the Heartland Film Festival in October 2018 was Grateful, which had its debut at the Indy Shorts International Film Festival. Also earning Best Documentary Film at the Circle City Festival and being shown internationally, Grateful focuses on one woman’s experience of living with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The film’s producer, Amy Pauszek, worked with a friend who is living with the progressive neurodegenerative disease on the documentary, which lent it a particularly heartfelt quality. As Ms. Pauszek describes it, people who view Grateful tend to laugh and cry while finding a source of inspiration. To date, this is the seventh film the producer has filmed in Indiana, with all having aimed at making a difference in people’s lives.
