Our Approach
Solutions Through Stories
We believe environmental films have unparalleled power to catalyze action and drive meaningful change. These stories transform culture, influence policy, and accelerate innovation. They bridge diverse perspectives, ignite dialogue and imagination, and support communities disproportionately affected by environmental challenges.
The Redford Center stands at the forefront of this vital movement. For two decades, we’ve operated at the intersection of environmental impact and independent filmmaking. Throughout this journey, we’ve produced, championed, and inspired hundreds of solutions-focused environmental film projects while cultivating a diverse, global community of storytellers committed to positive change.
We’re making a difference by supporting filmmakers, catalyzing collective action, and growing the market.
Our Path Forward
Over the next five years, we’re expanding our impact to bring more funding, resources, and opportunities to environmental storytellers worldwide.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
Supporting Filmmakers
We’re closing resource and access gaps by providing increased grant funding, professional development, and industry connections that help environmental storytellers bring their visions to life.
Collective Action
We believe in the power of collective action. By strengthening connections across our global network, we’re amplifying environmental stories and maximizing their impact on audiences everywhere.
Growing the Market
We’re leading the expansion of environmental film investments and creating new platforms for these vital stories. As demand for solutions-focused content grows, we’re ensuring filmmakers have more opportunities to reach engaged audiences.
“The environmental challenges we face today go deep and wide, and our storytelling arsenal needs to reflect that immense task.”
