Home Storytellers, film for refugees
We create character-driven short documentaries to inspire to act in support refugee self-reliance
We use the power of visual storytelling to amplify solutions to the refugee crisis.
We bring a new light to the refugee crisis by profiling refugees who inspire through determination and positive life transforming experiences. We find stories, and by stories, we do not mean another tragic refugee story. We highlight the remarkable stories that need to be shared of refugees who have become role models in their community and the community at large. Our approach is artful and cinematic. We believe that the effectiveness of a film that reaches the minds and hearts of viewers is increased by the strength of the story, the aesthetics, and making the audience feel that they are "inside" the story.
