Project Description

Following up on the hit 2003 documentary, The Corporation, the "unfortunately necessary sequel" premiered at TIFF in September 2020. Like the first film, we are the grassroots team behind the impact campaign, dedicated to harnessing the power of this film to change the corporate form.

We developed the website and a story-sharing app featuring videos about those affected by the issues, and how they tackle corporate power, grassroots organizing and challenges to democracy. We run social media and email marketing campaigns, engaging with supporters and joining in solidarity with allies from around the world.

We are also distributors using our Cool.World platform for streaming events and for the eventual release of the educational version.

Project Description

Through this project, our hope is to build understanding in non-Indigenous Canadians about why things look the way they do for Indigenous Peoples today. We will be rolling out interactive educational modules starting in September 2018 for the school year. Our resources will help students and educators discuss this history in a safe and culturally relevant way.
Richard Wagamese’ award-winning novel Indian Horse is being taught in thousands of Canadian classrooms, with over 100,000 copies of the book in circulation. The story of Saul Indian Horse hit the big screen back in April 2018. Now we have launched the educational DVD.  Help us make sure that the Indian Horse film reaches high school classrooms across the country, and that it has long-tale life as a resource that fosters empathy, healing and understanding.

Project Description

This video was created for the First Nations Health Council (FNHC) and was shown at Gathering Wisdom X conference in May 2018.
Often, what are described as the ‘determinants of health’ are really the determinants of disease -- through this work we will take a strengths-based approach, that will connect the work being done by the FNHC, all the regional representatives, and health directors to the ‘social determinants of resilience’, put in its most simple terms:  What it means to be Living Well.
 

Project Description

We developed an e-learning course for Oxfam Canada that was part of a larger “Power Up” women’s empowerment project in Indonesia, which encourages women’s participation in the budgeting process. This interactive module inspires women to get the issues they care about on the village agenda and funded, while providing tips on how to navigate the process and overcome barriers.
 
To make the process more relatable and overcome low literacy barriers, we created a series of animated videos following the journey of a young Indonesian woman expecting her first child. The responsive HTML 5 course is optimized for mobile users and will be made available online as a web-application or it can downloaded offline as a free-standing module for desktop users. The videos with both Indonesian and English closed captions are also be available. This project has been very well received in the Indonesian villages it was intended for.

Project Description

We created a signature illustration for the Micronutrient Forum to use in promoting their upcoming Micronutrient Forum Global Conference, October 24-28 in Cancun, Mexico. Drawing on Mayan themed iconography, attention is drawn to women and girls, as the theme of the conference is "Positioning Women at the Centre of Sustainable Development. We look forward to extending this theme and illustration style as the conference approaches.

Project Description

GetCheckedOnline.com is a new, online STI/HIV testing service. We developed the overarching brand 'storyworld' and a range of promotional materials tailored to different communities, in close consultation with the BCCDC and stakeholders from regional health authorities. Three distinct concepts were put forth for audience focus testing which were then honed into the final designs that launched in January 2016 in the first phase of the program's expansion.
