But the cost of video can be prohibitive. Polished, professional production requires so many elements and they add up. By accepting donations to cover the costs, Do Good Films can alleviate that financial burden.
We will tell stories like that of a Mozambican entrepreneur from a rural village, who received a scholarship to complete university and is now fulfilling her mission to put African textiles on the map through a women's dying collective. Video will help increase the exposure of her products to a western market she wouldn't otherwise have access to and also inspire young girls in her community wishing to follow in her footsteps.
Each selected organization will receive:
-
(1) two to three minute informational video about their organization
-
(5) 15 second social media videos
-
(15) professional still photos
Videos will live on the organizations' websites and social media pages. They will serve as valuable tools for fundraising as well as community engagement and appreciation.
