Entertainment Social Impact

Do you have a piece of media that touches on a social issue? Let’s use it to make an impact.

Combining my experience in politics with my passion for social justice entertainment, I specialize in building impact campaigns for films, documentaries and TV shows, and serving as a liaison between entertainment professionals and non-profit/grassroots organizations looking to use the power of entertainment to affect social change.

My entertainment social impact services offer foundations, philanthropies, distributors, filmmakers, production companies and others the unique opportunity to reach millions of already-engaged viewers at a fraction of the cost of a traditional agency.

Services include building campaigns from scratch and executing them during the pre-premiere phase - mobilizing thousands of grassroots activists to champion your piece of art. Along the way, I’m available to help organize special screenings, Q&As, influencer events, policy discussions, premiers, etc. During my time at the social impact consulting firm ProSocial in Los Angeles, I helped guide several grassroots campaigns for a variety of entertainment projects, including:

Campaign: Mobilized the LGBTQ community in support of the theatrical release of The Miseducation of Cameron Post, a Sundance-award winning film by Director Desiree Akhavan that touches on the subject of conversion therapy.

Campaign: Mobilized global health organizations, tech companies, philanthropists, non-governmental organizations and others to support the campaign for Minutes to Die. Directed by James Reid, the documentary tells the story of snakebite envenoming, a public health crisis that kills more people in one month than the entire Ebola crisis did in two years. Upon release, the World Health Organization (WHO) was persuaded to add snakebite envenoming back to its priority list of Neglected Tropical Diseases, triggering more support from the global health community.

Campaign: Mobilized activists, thought leaders and organizations involved in autism awareness to support the premier of ABC’s The Good Doctor. During the fall of 2017, the show became the highest rated program on network television.

Campaign: Mobilized veterans service organizations to support the theatrical release of Last Flag Flying, a film directed by Richard Linklater and starring Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell.

Campaign: Mobilized activists, thought leaders and organizations involved in autism awareness to support the Netflix premier of Atypical Season 1.

Campaign: Mobilized a broad coalition of activists to support the theatrical and VOD release of Eating Animals, a film produced and directed by Christopher Quinn and narrated by Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman. The coalition included organizations involved in energy/environment, healthcare, antibiotic resistance, animal welfare, sustainable food/ farming, as well as tech entrepreneurs and “future of food” companies.
