This film was produced by Ivy Fuld and Rob Sampogna as part of a class called “Reel Change for Nonprofits” at Jacob Burns Film Center’s Media Arts Lab.
Led by JBFC Faculty Member Theresa Dawson, the class allows students to learn how to use the media to communicate its mission, and how to make public service announcements (PSAs) and short films an effective part advocacy work.
Located in Pleasantville, The Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC) is a nonprofit educational and cultural institution dedicated to presenting the best of independent, documentary, and world cinema; promoting 21st century literacy; and making film a vibrant part of the community. Housing a state-of-the-art theater complex, a 27,000 square-foot Media Arts Lab, and a residence for international filmmakers, the JBFC campus provides opportunities for people of all ages to discover, explore, and learn through the power of film, media and 21st-century technology.
Since they opened their doors to the public in 2001, more than a million people from the tri-state area have gone there to see over 3,000 films from every corner of the globe. Over 65,000 students in grades 3-12 and college have participated in their education programs, more than 50% of them from underserved communities throughout the tri-state area. Their participation, including transportation, is funded entirely by the JBFC, thanks in part to support from individuals, foundations, and corporations.
