Perspective: The Party

2015

Imagine a young woman attending her first college party, her mind set on cutting loose and shedding the “shy girl” identity she’s struggled with since high school. At the same party, an awkward, but slightly charming young man is hoping for a similar reinvention. Add booze and misinterpreted signals, and two different stories emerge out of what happens during the night’s events.

The Beginning

2011

Impactful Fund, formerly IndieFlix Foundation. was created in 2011 by Scilla Andreen, CEO and Founder of iMPACTFUL.CO to underwrite free access to mental health education programs for underserved communities and schools. 

“We support stories that inspire social change and positive action, especially where young people and families are involved. My personal goal is to effect change within one minute of viewing and to offer free resources and tools to educate, create balance, human connection, empathy and long-lasting impact. And that’s exactly what movies like RACE to Be Human, Angst, LIKE, The Upstanders, The Empowerment Project and Finding Kind achieve.”
