Social Justice Works in Progress Screenings
Social Justice Film Institute offers a unique program where social justice filmmakers can screen their rough cut of a current film project to a live audience. The benefits of this program is not unlike a focus group; participating members engage in a facilitated discussion and Q & A with the filmmaker, providing invaluable constructive feedback in a safe and mindful setting.
**This program is for filmmakers with a social justice-related film only.
This program is helpful to filmmakers near completion of their film project and preparing for distribution or submission to film festivals.
Works in Progress screenings are $300 per event.
