The Blessed Corner — A short documentary film

For over 20 years, Mr. Curtis has stood on the same corner — singing, dancing, and greeting every child.

He believes it's exactly where God put him.

The Blessed Corner is a 2-minute film about purpose without a title, service without recognition, and the kind of leadership most organizations spend thousands of dollars trying to teach.

Midland city officials declared a day in Mr. Curtis's honor, inspired in part by this film.

The film is the spark. The curriculum is the session.

Every license includes a complete facilitation package — a facilitator guide, participant discussion sheet, session flow template, a 15-question discussion bank, and a one-page film brief you can forward to your supervisor to justify the purchase.

It works for a first-time facilitator who has never led a discussion. It works the second and third time you use it without feeling stale. And it connects to frameworks your organization already uses — servant leadership, SEL competencies, emotional intelligence.

Most organizations spend thousands of dollars trying to teach what Mr. Curtis lives every single day. The entry license starts at $495.

Who licenses this film

School districts & campuses

You need something that sparks real conversation in advisory, character ed, or SEL — not another worksheet your students forget by lunch.

Leadership & HR teams

You're running onboarding or a retreat and you need a moment that actually lands — not a slide deck about core values that everyone has seen before.

Nonprofits, churches & civic orgs

You're trying to put words to servant leadership for volunteers and staff — and you want something that shows it rather than just says it.

Economic development & chambers

You want a story that represents this region with pride — something that says who the Permian Basin actually is, not just what it produces.

If your role involves getting people to show up differently — this is built for that moment.

Ready to bring this into your organization?

One license. One film. Unlimited conversations.

Mr. Curtis has stood on the same corner for over 20 years. The organizations that license this film get to return to that story the same way — bringing it back when a new cohort needs it, when a team needs re-grounding, when the conversation matters again. Licensing makes that possible without starting over every time.

Most organizations decide during or right after a short call. No pressure. Just a conversation.
