Film presents a unique opportunity to educate and engage at a time of need for social transformation. This panel will provide a space to introduce you to the process of creating socially impactful films from pre-production, to production, to distribution. The panelists will discuss their perspectives within the film industry, provide insights to ways how filmmakers can join the social impact movement, and point to resources that filmmakers can utilize in their own process. The panel will be moderated by Annette Hegel, director at Digital Arts Resource Centre.
