Growing the Impact Field in Canada with Independent Media

My research seeks to explore the growing field of Impact Producing in Canada. Impact Producing is
defined as the labor of maximizing a documentary film’s potential for social change. This field often
involves creating partnerships between documentary films and existing social movements and the
nonprofit sector. My research will explore the methodologies and development of a 15 ??week impact
producing cohort. This program will train 5 additional people to have the skills and knowledge required
to be Impact Producers. This will contribute to the partner organization’s goal of growing this field in
Canada.
