Film + Strategy + Campaign Design + Social Change

Social movements need powerful stories. But if that is all it took to solve social problems, we wouldn’t have any. Strong and compelling stories that grapple with timely and important issues can benefit from careful planning to ensure the message reaches the right audiences, in the right ways, at the right times.

As a documentary impact strategist, I have helped filmmakers, funders, and movement leaders build strategic partnerships and plans that strengthen their respective projects and contribute to lasting change. I have also conducted research and designed programming to strengthen the field of documentary impact.

My latest work focuses on supporting, resourcing, and connecting people of color led and serving organizations working in nonfiction. You can learn more here: colorcongress.org. Unfortunately that means I am not currently taking on any new clients.

Digital Power 2020

A Masterclass Series On Building Social Justice Power Through Best Practices in Digital Strategic Communications

Many of us who use film to support community outreach, engagement, and organizing are used to using film through live, in-person screening events. But the pandemic has dramatically shifted our options. This series —a collaboration between the Center for Media & Social Impact in the U.S., Together Films in the UK, and myself— aims to support field learning for people working at the intersection of film and social change. We look to leading experts in digital engagement and impact from various adjacent sectors.

MONDAYS 1PM – 2:30PM EST STARTING SEPT 28TH
