Kids in the Spotlight 

Our partnership with ‘Kids In The Spotlight’ has brought a new depth to our support for filmmakers and storytellers. ‘KITS’ gives L.A. foster youth the opportunity to be seen and heard, to work in a team, to develop their talents, and to work through trauma… all by the power of film. They run 10-15 week courses in filmmaking, where industry veterans coach and support youth from writing a script to casting, acting, producing, filming with a professional crew, and editing. We are thrilled to host the ‘Kids In The Spotlight’ channel, showcasing 30+ shorts made by these extraordinary young people, and to support KITS in its live events. You can find these films on indieflix.com

Many Messiahs

Many Messiahs reframes Handel’s masterpiece as a collective call for justice. The diverse collaborators on the Many Messiahs team create new songs using material from the original Messiah, amplifying the work’s powerful themes of awakening and activism. Performed by a genre-bending ensemble along with orchestra and chorus, Many Messiahs meets the vital need for classical music programming that addresses systemic racism while also welcoming new audiences into concert halls.

To reach local youth, trained teaching artists work with underserved schools to deliver a curriculum that merges classical music, cutting-edge technology, and social justice.

Using the power of film and evidence-based storytelling to foster mental health literacy and support population healthcare. We are dedicated to promoting safety, mental well-being, and personal agency, empowering individuals and communities to thrive and shape a brighter future for all. We endeavor to reimagine education on a grand scale by cultivating communities that embrace empathy, accountability, inclusivity, and connection

Working with partners, we help subsidize the cost of mental health literacy film programs for public schools and underserved communities. Since 2011, Impactful Fund, formerly IndieFlix Foundation, has helped to provide subsidized or free access across school districts nationwide and every K-12 public school in the state of California through the CalHOPE Schools Program for the 2021-24 school years.

Our Impact 

We believe that stories are one of the most powerful tools for creating change. Our initiatives are guided by three principles:

  1. Support positive stories to improve the human condition
  2. Measure the impact to evolve the program
  3. Enrich and provide more access to underserved communities and schools
