AboutÂ
We use the medium of film to increase public safety while combating mass incarceration.

Our Mission
We are focused on transforming prison culture and changing the narrative society has on those
incarcerated. We do this by providing new economic opportunities for impacted communities by
teaching film industry skills and allowing the incarcerated to share their narrative through film and
digital video.
The Work We Do
Projects
We look forward to releasing much more content. Please follow us on YouTube and Instagram and sign up for our mailing list.
Programs
We are creating content that will be a voice to those who may be going down a bad path.
Support
Our hope is to continue to demonstrate the humanity of the incarcerated while also making a real world impact. Thank you for your support.
