The Story of Place
Our Work
Empowering through filmmaking
Story of Place uses filmmaking to empower local communities and their leadership to ignite community transformation.
Through the act of envisioning and producing a story, a community can come together, identify and raise its voices, unify, and distinguish its values and motives to begin to solve its challenges. This process—creating and documenting a story about empowering change for good—forms the main building block for Story of Place. Story of Place is an initiative that puts the power of filmmaking back into the hands of the community and its leaders. We seek to train community members in filmmaking and help create their film. We aim to better understand what moves people to action. This is storytelling in authentic hands, designed to support policies and mobilize solutions.
Rural Communities and Water
Docutribe is documenting how rural communities are addressing critical drinking water and wastewater infrastructure challenges. Following local leaders in New York State, the project highlights efforts to secure funding, build partnerships, and develop long-term solutions. It also explores collaboration between rural municipalities and Native communities around shared water resources. The resulting documentary aims to inspire and inform other communities facing similar challenges.
