Social Enterprise
Our Social Enterprise Program is a key vehicle for developing the skills and experience of early career creatives. The opportunities that arise through our fee-for-service client work provide scaffolded professional development through paid, on-the-job training and networking. This work in sector development and pathways is made possible when clients with shared values commission us to deliver their video production and community engagement needs. It’s a symbiotic relationship and one that is grounded in service to the broader community.
