Safe Space Pictures Foundation

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.

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.
