COMMUNITY-LED
DEVELOPMENT
OutReach
We believe the most effective way to tell authentic stories faithfully representing a cultural point of view is to include members of that community in the creation of those stories.
"Not about us without us."
Creative Incubators
We work with community leaders, local journalists, and advocacy groups to identify systemic issues in the target countries for each episode of the anthology season. We build a “creative incubator” of experienced writers and participating community members to collaborate and develop powerful stories that reflect their cultural experience.
Mentorship Program
Our mentorship program ensures throughout all stages of production, our department heads work with mentees from within the community to share their knowledge and skills with the next generation of filmmakers.
Supporting ALIGNED Charities
We match each film with an aligned charity, so they can use it to raise awareness and support for their cause.
While documentaries are an important tool to inform the public about an event, the power of a dramatic film enables audiences to feel the challenging situation through storytelling. Instead of watching a journalist describe an event, they experience the first-person narrative, deepening their empathic connection to the cause.

Educating the Next Generation
Once our films are released internationally, we partner with educators to set up screenings in classrooms along with a curated curriculum and Q&A sessions. Engaging students in social causes through this creative process encourages them to learn how to advocate for important causes.
