TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATION AND FILM
Who We Serve
Students
A single story can change how a young person sees their future. We connect students with films, speakers, and educational experiences that broaden perspectives, spark curiosity, and open doors.
Educators
Great educators change lives. We provide documentary films, guest speakers, professional development, and educational resources that bring meaningful real-world learning into classrooms.
Filmmakers
Making a great film is only the beginning. We provide fiscal sponsorship, fundraising support, and campaign management for emerging and independent filmmakers.
our work in action
This is how impact grows.
Using film to bring the Great Plains to urban classrooms.
When Under the Wire reached an urban public school serving students from under-resourced communities in Washington, D.C.—we saw an opportunity to extend its impact.
With donor support, we created a specialized, standards-aligned educational guide for the school’s Architecture, Construction, and Engineering program, then distributed the film and guide to public schools with similar programs nationwide.
“Listen Out Loud’s Educational Resource Guide made it possible for our teachers to collaborate across departments and create a cross-curricular project for our students.”

Stories Spark Possibilities
Every student deserves experiences that make them curious, confident, and excited about their future. Sometimes one story, shared at the right moment, can change what a young person believes is possible.
