🎬 Make Films to Encourage Civic Action

Photographs. Videos. Selfies — be a witness to positive and negative changes,

and transform them into films that spark change.

because change doesn’t wait for voting age.

Why Civic Films?

Civic films turn real observations into stories people remember — documenting what’s working, what’s broken, and what we can do together. Short, clear, visual, and shareable.

How you can do it too

  1. Plan: pick one local story; gather photos, clips, and 2–3 facts.
  2. Edit: 60–180 seconds; clear narration or captions; end with one ask.
  3. Share: post to YouTube/Instagram; send to councillors/community groups.
