before you vote, hear their story
empathy > outrage
We're raising funds to produce a slate of short films ahead of the midterm elections that humanize political issues through lived experience. These aren't ads. They're portraits of real people navigating the fallout of policy decisions. And they're designed to do what traditional messaging can't: move hearts, shift narratives, and reconnect voters to what's at stake.
​
This kind of content is sorely lacking in our civic discourse. The media ecosystem is saturated with outrage, data, and fear - but almost no one is telling stories that build empathy. That's where we come in.

become a partner
We're looking for a small group of strategic partners to help fund this work - people who want more than a donation receipt. We want collaborators who will help shape the direction we go, the issues we spotlight, and how the content is shared.
​
If you're serious about making a measurable impact this cycle, this is where your support can go the furthest. Let's talk one-on-one. I'll walk you through the vision, the strategy, and how your investment can dramatically help shift the emotional landscape of this election.
distribution everywhere
All content will be free to download and use. Campaigns, organizations, and activists can access each film along with clips, graphics, captions, and versions optimized for different platforms.
​
We'll be actively reaching out to partners and offering support on how to deploy the content effectively. The goal is simple: reach people, move them emotionally, and drive civic engagement.
