Program areas at Safe Space Pictures Foundation

Run impact campaigns for the media the Organization helps create. These campaigns are intended to expand the educational media's reach as far as possible to raise the awareness of the covered topic. Organization initiatives include activities such as coordinating screenings at community centers and educational institutions, preparing educational companion materials, and hosting virtual Q+As. In 2023, the Organization worked on two major campaigns: widening exposure for "The 50" as well as "Another Body." For "Another Body," the Organization worked alongside women's rights groups to screen the film for affected communities. The Organization supported a virtual summit on deep fake abuse with influential thought leaders. For "the 50," the Organization worked with criminal justice reform groups to expand OMCP, the program featured in the documentary, a parallel path mentor program to rehabilitate incarcerated individuals.
Connect donors to filmmakers to ensure that individual educational films have the funding needed to be completed. The Organization will maintain a network of donors and filmmakers and will facilitate collaboration between the two in order to foster the production of educational media. In 2023, the Organization connected filmmakers and donors on 5 key projects: a documentary about eviction and housing inequality in America, a cultural equality documentary that investigates the gender gap in art, a docu-series that explores the cultural obsession with true crime and women as victims, a Ukrainian story of ordinary artists forced to become soldiers when war breaks out, and a program that supporting MENA emerging filmmakers.
Support the production and release of educational media. This includes pre-production support, such as preparing budgets, vetting partners, and creating project plans. It includes production support, such as securing interviews with subjects, solving logistical issues, providing notes, and sharing institutional knowledge with filmmakers. It also includes release support, such as working with distributors, traveling to festivals, and building tools with the purpose of securing the widest possible exposure of the educational media. In 2023, the Organization worked on "One Point Five," "Battleground," "Been Here Stay Here," "Fairyland," The Last Guest of Holloway Hotel," as well as "Who Taught You?" These projects tackle a variety of important issues, including climate change, women's rights, civil rights, income inequality and education. The Organization successfully secured wide distribution for "Battleground" on the Starz television network. Other work included securing access to the UN's climate conferences, providing notes on edits, supporting "Fairyland" at its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival, and many other activities to support the production and distribution of these projects.
