The Laguna Beach home of Ron and Santina Davies provided the backdrop earlier this month for a film fundraiser for “Children Born of the Water,” a socially conscious feature that award-winning director Rob Nilsson hopes gets a green light.

Co-producers Dr. Howard Teich and Patrice Simon, actor-producer Tom Bower and photographer-director Ryan Leaneagh along with Nilsson attended the event, whose goal was raising $2.5 million for the film to commence by December.

Nilsson has directed 40 feature films including “Northern Lights” and “Heat and Sunlight,” award winners at the Cannes Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival, respectively.

Teich is the author of “Solar Light Lunar Light,” which the film is based on.
