E2AC connects creators, causes, and funders to harness the power of storytelling for social impact.
We bring together the people and resources to make them possible.
Not for profit. But for purpose.

Support the FilmRaised for social impact projects since 2021.
Social impact projects supported by E2AC have collectively raised more than $40 million since 2021.
We convene audiences around powerful films and meaningful conversations that explore important social issues. Our 2026 series featured All the Empty Rooms, the Academy Award winner for Documentary Short Film, and Viva Verdi!, whose ‘Sweet Dreams of Joy’ earned an Original Song nomination. Next up in December: Joybubbles makes its NYC premiere at Lincoln Center, and The Slightest Touch comes to SVA.

Helping creative and social impact projects bring their missions to life.
We cultivate the next generation of storytellers and changemakers through hands-on learning and community engagement at colleges and universities nationwide. What began as a small student initiative has grown to more than 20 campus chapters.

We develop original content, produce cause-driven campaigns, and bring important stories to wider audiences in collaboration with nonprofits and brands. This October - Domestic Violence Awareness Month - E2AC worked alongside award-winning producers Jamie Bruce & Olivia and John Farr to distribute the podcast Broken Badge, a 9-part investigative series on OIDV.

Since 2021, E2AC has significantly expanded its operations, building a professional staff, establishing a governing board, and growing its programs to support an increasing number of social impact projects.
Coming in 2027
We activate audiences through weekly, cause-focused films and hosted programming, pairing TVs with phones to turn viewing into doing through donations, local volunteer opportunities, and direct participation.

Pilot Project
We are revitalizing a neighborhood movie theater that operated independently from 1947 until its closure, transforming it into an inclusive community cinema that will create employment opportunities for people of all abilities. Acclaimed actor and filmmaker Steve Buscemi hosted a special soft opening this fall.
