As I reflect 💡on Day 1 of the #SIE #ImpactProfit conference, I’m inspired by the commitments and lessons on collaboration between entertainment and impact, especially in this post-Participant world. Here are some key reflections: - Collaborative Expertise 🤝: It's clear that the magic happens when filmmakers, artists, social impact strategists, and distribution experts come together. Each brings unique insights and skills, allowing us to create more impactful projects while respecting each other's expertise. - Early Integration of Social Impact ☀️: Panels emphasized prioritizing integrating social impact considerations from the very beginning of film and media projects. By doing so, filmmakers, studios, and production companies can ensure that narratives resonate deeply, reach even more audiences (amplified through non traditional impact partnerships), and drive meaningful change. - Trusting Artist Instinct 🎥 : Artists (filmmakers and creatives) often have a unique ability to anticipate cultural shifts. Their instincts can guide us toward relevant and timely storytelling. Let’s make it a priority to listen and trust their vision. Excited for what’s to come today on Day 2! 🎉#ConferenceReflections #Collaboration #SocialImpact #ArtAndMedia #film #entertainment

This feature documentary won Current Resident a Clio, but honestly, as rad as The Clios are I don’t really care all that much (no shade). What’s more important is that it sold an industry on a story of humble beginnings, a vision for the future, and what’s possible—even if, or rather, especially if, you’re the underdog. Horizon Focus is a special project, not just for me, but for everyone involved, from our client, Vireo health to the crew who brought it to life. It was a race against time—four months from start to finish to deliver a project that should’ve taken six+ —but the result was more than worth it. Here are a few key takeaways from the experience to wet your whistle: 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 "𝘞𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘴.

From prep to post, our crews and the client were connected at the hip ensuring the stories rang true and the narrative was tight. We pushed creative, blending corporate storytelling with a documentary-style narrative, and it paid off in ways we didn’t expect.

“We are now in an age where people are consuming somewhere between 5 and 7 hours of content a day. The power to use that time to do good is colossal" Founded by Ellen Windemuth exec producer of 'My Octopus Teacher' WaterBear Network has rapidly become the free-to-view epicentre of purpose driven entertainment, culture, impact and storytelling. CEO, Sam Sutaria reveals all in this very candid and wide ranging conversation with Richard Mullane, including: - How to create campaigns using film to build real world agency and action - How a partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation will create story-based B2B learning to engage 30m employees - Creating media designed to improve wellbeing - Why the film industry needs a new measurement of success - Why looking someone in the eyes is still the best way to judge their character - How to create a holistic, inclusive, diverse and sustainable media model - Targeting funding via impact driven family offices, VCs and smart capital - Why watching films under the stars (preferably in Greece at next week's Aegean Film Festival!) is one of the best experiences on the planet As well as Waterbear at Glastonbury 2024, Waterbears on the moon, how to stay healthy in an age of anxiety - and much, much more!

I recently had the honour of joining a webinar hosted by Blue Ventures on using video storytelling to supercharge conservation impact. Having worked in this space, I feel so inspired when I see the great impact conservation efforts have not only on nature but on people as well. There are so many opportunities for #storytelling. My key takeaways from the webinar were: ✅ Put the mic in the hands of the community. Let them tell their own stories. And if you can, work with local filmmakers. ✅ Always find out how the community wants to be portrayed and showcase them as such. ✅ When telling the story of an organisation, look for figure-heads from within the communities where they work. ✅ Seek out quieter voices. They will always have something more to add to the story. #AlwaysLearning #ScienceCommunication #ConservationCommunication
