Actuality Media Create Philanthropic Videos About Changemakers

— March 13, 2012 — Social Good
Actuality Media is a film production company that uses video technology to showcase the good happening in the world, and the people who are making it happen. They partner with film students who want to travel the world while making a difference by profiling global social entrepreneurs on film during fellowships and semester residency programs.

"Actuality Media is a 'for impact' organization – a philanthropic production company that works to recount the stories of heroes doing good," the website explains. "We take crews around the world to produce short documentaries about changemakers; we render our support to filmmakers who want to create social purpose media."

They describe changemakers like we would social entrepreneurs -- people who contribute to social change through sustainable and scalable practices. Rather than simply offering aid, they aim to break socially-straining cycles such as poverty and childhood obesity through empowering innovations like microloans and improving school cafeterias.

The company was founded by husband and wife Aubrie Campbell Canfield and Robin Christopher Canfield whose intention is to showcase projects with the capacity to make a significant impact in order to raise awareness and prompt action.
