Social Responsibility at the Studios?
With the wave of interest and profitability of provocative documentaries, more companies are looking at how business models and social responsibility go together. Some studios have developed recycling programs...others use alternative energy generators and make offset investments for their energy use. And some are tackling production of important stories as part of their core business. Cinema Libre Studio has chosen the latter pathway to social responsibility...
The company’s first film made in partnership with the international aid organization Action Against Hunger, "The Empire In Africa," was selected for the Critic’s Week at Cannes and has won best documentary awards this year at Slamdance Film Festival and Hollywood Film Festival.
A second project, "Progress vs. Poverty," has recently started production. Directed by Diaz, the documentary feature will question why there continues to be such poverty in light of so much progress.
Founded in 2003, the studio was created with the mission to be a haven for filmmakers with views. The company first made a name on the film distribution scene with the 2004 release of Robert Greenwald’s "Uncovered: The War On Iraq" followed closely by the release of "Outfoxed," and has since distributed thought provoking documentaries and feature films in theatres and on DVD.
The company also has a full-service post-production facility and has ramped up its production division.
The studio will work with foundations and NGO’s in a co-production arrangement by bringing in its personnel, production equipment, post-production facility and financing to select projects in 2007. The company will also raise financing from individuals and organizations as well as distribute the film worldwide. The studio will guarantee the theatrical release of these feature length films in cities across the U.S.
