## About the Founder

Chance McClain is the founder of Heritage Films. He is a filmmaker, Army veteran, and Houston native who has been producing personal documentary films for nearly two decades. He conducts all interviews himself. He is not famous. His subjects almost never are. He has yet to make a film about an ordinary life.
