The vision

A journey worth sharing.

I, Nephi follows a family leaving everything familiar behind and finding its way through uncertainty. We’re developing a cinematic series that brings the people behind the record to life with research, imagination, and care.

Peyda is an independent studio building a home for stories across genres. I, Nephi is our first flagship production, and we’re grateful to everyone following its journey.

The work ahead

From first idea
to finished story.

Independent filmmaking brings many pieces together. As the project develops, support can help make the work of production possible.

01 / Develop

Build the world

Research, writing, and creative development give the people and places of the story depth.

02 / Create

Shape each scene

Visual storytelling, performance, and production tools bring the journey to the screen.

03 / Finish

Share the story

Editing, sound, music, and finishing prepare the series to meet its audience.

Pay it forward

Help someone else
watch the story.

We’re planning a way for viewers to help cover access for someone else. Pay-it-forward viewing is in development; details on contributions, fees, and how to claim access will be shared before the program opens.

Production support and pay-it-forward viewing will be presented separately so you can choose how to help.
