Programs
E2AC’s Programs are committed to our four core values:
Entertain. Engage. Educate. Inspire.
E2AC INDEPENDENT FILMS
Making films is tough. Especially when it comes to socially impact subject matter. We make it easier. Read all about what we do and why filmmakers love E2AC. Past projects have been widely-distributed, Oscar-shortlisted, Sundance-selected, and won countless awards at film festivals.
E2AC ON CAMPUS
E2AC On Campus has hosted more than 150 interns from all over the country: empowering students to connect with causes they care about, learn what it means to produce projects from concept to execution, and promote passion projects in philanthropy, social justice, and social impact entertainment. Learn about our nationwide campus screening tour and free 6-week summer course, Social Impact Entertainment 101.
E2AC SOCIAL IMPACT FILM FESTIVAL
Think a touring service fair + film festival all-in-one. It’s our hybrid fest (with in-person screenings at a theater and streamed on E2AC+ via Roku and FireTV) that brings together social impact content - but also invites nonprofits to actively participate by tabling, presenting, and connecting attendees to volunteer opportunities. Content with a built in service component: now that’s truly entertainment to affect change.
E2AC CREATIVE
Content creation for social impact is our specialty. Whether it’s video and podcast production, live events and premieres, and impact campaigns focused on action, we know storytelling. E2AC works with creatives from all around the world, from emerging artists to award-winning professionals, from large-scale or boutique agencies to solo freelancers, so we’ve got you covered at any budget level and specialty.
E2AC+ STREAMING
There is nothing like E2AC’s take on streaming. We combine the ability to donate to nonprofits, learn more about causes, hear from filmmakers, rate films based on impact, and provide high quality, inspiring content from filmmakers all around the world. Featuring content from partners and films from our Social Impact Film Festival, E2AC+ is available via any device, including Roku and Amazon Fire TV.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT SCALE
Think social science and social impact combined: E2AC’s Impact Assessment Scale (IAS) is a data-driven way to operationalize and measure the term “impact” as it relates to content by gauging the self-reported affective and behavioral responses of an audience. Special thanks to our partners at New York’s Columbia University Data for Good project and DSI Scholars. Launched at E2AC’s own Social Impact Film Festival and featured at CMP’s Doc10 Film Festival in May 2023.
E2AC HEALTH
Patient advocacy is in our blood. E2AC is committed to the creation of powerful, empathetic content to share the stories of advocates and supporters. We look at health content differently: think less boring training video, more high quality, imaginative storytelling. Because healthcare is too important for anything less. Partners have included Novartis, Agios, Day One Bio, and more.
SIZZLE 2 SCREEN DOC ACCELERATOR
For many talented but emerging documentary filmmakers, the method of getting their work seen seems a broken process. We want to help fix that. Sizzle2Screen connects documentary filmmakers with seasoned producers and content distributors so that untold stories can be shared broadly and see the greenlight of day.
