Film-Driven Social Impact Campaigns:

Film-driven social impact campaigns are a powerful catalyst for behavioural changes that result in social impact, that is why our campaigns are targeted at underserved audience members. Our campaigns encourage audience members to make a positive change by taking actions such as signing petitions, volunteering, protesting etc. Our impact distribution partner, Sunshine Cinema, has profiled our film “Nomfundo” in impact screenings in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Experiential Training:

We offer experiential training to film graduates, aspiring filmmakers from previously disadvantaged communities and female technicians (camera operators, sound recordists, editors etc). Our training programme is based on three core pillars: Professional Development, Personal Mastery and Social Consciousness. We have had trainees in the following departments: make-up, lighting, cinematographjy, editing, producing, directing and production support.
