the endangered ideas approach
We utilize a collaborative filmmaking model that gives communities agency in telling their own stories. By partnering with the people we document, we allow them to co-create and shape the film. Unlike traditional documentary methods, where filmmakers control the narrative, we create meaningful and impactful stories that challenge traditional power dynamics in filmmaking.
