Tree9 Films

We're excited to share that our latest documentary, Legacy By Design, has been officially selected for the 2026 St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase.

At Tree9, we believe film is more than a way to share a story - it's a way to ensure it isn't forgotten. This documentary was crafted to preserve one man's life and legacy for future generations.

We're grateful to Cinema St. Louis for including our film in this year's festival, and we look forward to sharing more about the project in the coming weeks.
