ADVOCACY
Doing work you love or building a life with the ones you love. No one should have to choose.
ACCESS
Everyone gets a seat; even if we have to bring our own chairs and build new tables.
INCLUSION
Equity is key. We hold space for those traditionally silenced; in the workspace and beyond.
ABOUT US
We support those shaping the stories shaping our society.
Reel Families for Change (RFC) is a dynamic 501(c)(3) powered by family-focused production professionals serving at the intersection of creative industry, labor justice, and the care economy.
Here, we work to reimagine narrative production culture. We know that story is a catalyst for social change. We also know that who gets to tell those stories is determined by opportunities for entry and advancement in this field.
Caregiving has proven the number one barrier to entry and cause of attrition across industries. Receiving care is the second. That’s why we help productions adopt practices rooted in physical and psychological safety: to eliminate both and create the conditions for better supporting people, streamlining operations, and reducing cost.
Although the screen industry is one of the oldest and most influential mediums with one of the largest workforces in the world, it continues to lag in inclusivity and family support.
It’s why we create the systems that hold screenworkers, so they can create the stories that hold us all. Because this infrastructure isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s non-negotiable.
OUR PROCESS
Reel Families for Change designs transformative solutions by primarily leveraging three catalytic change vehicles:
perception
Debunking “us/them” narratives and reshaping perceptions about the universality of care: we’ll all inevitability need it or give it.
policy
Championing policy development and reform, within our industry and beyond, that supports artist-caregiver, their families, and their work.
practice
Creating comprehensive care solutions for screen professionals working in narrative, documentary, corporate, and commercial.
