Pre-Production
United Strengths was created by Marine veteran Scofield Grant, III and Betty Grant. It was born from a desire these two people have to help others. This husband-and-wife team realized the challenges of offering continuing help to the community alone. Providing positive avenues for children is one of their passions; however, the amount of help they provided they felt was not meeting the total need of the family.
Wanting to be able to offer a more thorough solution caused them to create United Strengths. A non-profit dedicated to enriching the lives of families and individuals by offering assistance to supplement their financial need as well as breaking the generational poverty cycle by offering training, assisting people to take advantage of educational opportunities and making the community aware of opportunities for success. With a team of dedicated individuals,
United Strengths is developing a plan for GED training, HIV awareness and prevention, substance abuse counseling and treatment, housing assistance and music programs for children.
United Strengths mission is to break the generational poverty cycle in rural areas in Iberville and surrounding parishes. Our goal issue to enrich the lives of low-income individuals and families by providing resources, counseling and training.
Scofield is an accomplished saxophonist, pianist, songwriter, producer, sax in jazz ensemble, director of youth community choir and a sax/piano teacher. ScoSax, as he is called, loves to expressful with soulful groovy rhythms laced with an alto sax. With his publishing company, Forever Timeless Music, he also raps and sings.

DeAnna has worked with her friends in the film industry to learn sound, lighting, directing, locations scouting and some editing. DeAnna believes that for her to be a better, well-rounded actress that it’s important for her to understand the roles of the crew and to appreciate what they do to help her be a successful actress.
In 2013, Scream the TV Series was filmed in Baton Rouge and through a friend, she had the chance to work in locations and started doing locations scouting. Locations scouting has become her second passion in the film industry and has been doing locations management and scouting on small productions since 2017.
DeAnna combined her 20 years in the military and her 14 years in the film industry to start Bad Habitz Productions, LLC, a film production company that focuses on veterans. She is currently working on documentaries on veterans and the obstacles they face. In March 2021, DeAnna started Bad Habitz Organization, a 501(c)3 non-profit to train interested veterans in careers in the film industry using local film professionals as the instructors.
