How will our charity benefit from partnering with a documentary filmmaker?
There are always benefits when partnering with like minded people who can contribute ideas and new perspectives to the work of your organisation. Documentary filmmakers, who work with the same issues that your charity addresses, will tell stories from the communities with whom you work. Documentaries are able to reach broad audiences, which will in turn raise the profile of your organisation. This may provide opportunities to enlist new supporters. Documentary, by its nature, keeps an issue alive long after the daily media has forgotten about the cause you champion. Through extended outreach and educational campaigns, filmmakers and charities can work together to increase community interest and participation and to extend the relevance of a story over a long period of time.
