Overview
Mission
Deep Water Films has been established in order to document educational and charitable feature films and content that can help provide the public with beneficial information, resources, and funding for at-risk and underserved communities. We rely on the goodwill of the community through volunteer employment time, labor, and fiscal donations.
What it reported doing in 2024
Deep Water Films created the concepts for ten, separate educational documentary films. Two of the most urgently important documentaries were selected to pursue immediately. "No Violation" aims to explore cyber crime, survivors of victimization, and the aftermath of the violation, including recovery resources. "For Love of Chocolate" explores ethics of the lives and rights of farmers in the chocolate trade, as well as methods of cultivating a more sustainable future. We are already far along in development on No Violation. We have 12 interested public-facing individuals who have agreed to be featured on-screen. We have a Doctor of chocolate who has agreed to be featured on-screen. We have been approved to be fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas.
