Overview

Mission

The organization was formed at the end of 1995 by a group of independent filmmakers for the expressed purpose of producing creative educational media including films, videos and cd roms, and related materials. A secondary purpose is to produce written materials such as study guides that could enhance and accompany the media. Finally, we will sometimes distribute these materials to be sure that they reach the largest possible educational audiences at an affordable price and to support future projects. The organization received its tax deductible status in mid-1996 and functions both as a production entity and a fiscal agent.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization produces independant films and acts as a fiscal sponsor for various film producers

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
