We have a deep passion for documentary filmmaking and wanted to give back to the next generation of creatives.
We wanted to share our model on a bigger scale. We've been consulting for years and this is a much better way to do it.
We’re still actively making films and far from done. However, we need talented directors and producers to help us expand our capacity. There are many projects, but a shortage of experienced and skilled impact documentary filmmakers specifically directors and producers. . So, we decided: if we can’t find them, we’ll train and hire those who rise to the top.
