This was a great opportunity to help launch a new global rights organization for LGBT people. All Out – part of super dynamic Purpose Foundation – came to us with all these gorgeous photos and the seed of an idea for a launch video. We scripted it together, choreographed the photos and came up with a piece about people stepping up to become upstanders not bystanders. All Out got written up in the New York Times as part of their launch, and the video and Found Object Films were mentioned. Very cool. Watch the video, go sign up at All Out. Enjoy.

As she learns, the audience is enlightened on why voting matters.

No Escape: Prison Rape in America

Gabriel — Sat, 03 Nov 2001 03:06:59 +0000

No Escape: Prison Rape in America tells the tragic story of Rodney Hulin, a young prison rape victim who committed suicide in Texas prison. The film puts a human face on the problem of prison rape in America. Originally made to accompany the Human Rights Watch Report of the same name, the film has gone on to have a life of its own: it is used as a training tool in numerous prison facilities across the US, Rodney’s mother testified in the US Congress, and together the film with the HRW study helped galvanize a bipartisan coalition to pass the historic Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003, which was signed into law by President Bush.
