Program areas at Artists for Change

Raindance Film Festival - We provided fiscal sponsorship to establish a dedicated social impact strand at the renowned Raindance Film Festival. This initiative aimed to shine a spotlight on films tackling pressing social issues, giving them the visibiliy they deserve.
Artists for Change was a fiscal sponsor for the film production of Ghost Divers (2021). The film hopes to inform and inspire audiences to promote ocean conservation, shark preservation, and expose human exploitation.
MAYA - We continued the post-production and obtaining distribution for our second narrative feature, MAYA. The film was created to raise awareness on the fast growing global problem of child trafficking. MAYA also raises awareness on key social issues such as the negative effect of domestic violence in the home, dangers of alcoholism, and child abuse. When a teenager, seeking escape from her alcoholic mother's abusive boyfriend, is lured into a trafficking scheme, she must realize the difference between love and manipulation to return to those who truly care. This year we focused on fundraising for the marketing and release of this film as well as prepping marketing and social media assets to support it.
