She Cried That Day
Grant-supported by Investigative Studios
Directed/exec producer Amanda Erickson; Premiered at Big Sky Film Festival Feb 2025. Feature documentary chronicling the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s Crisis through the lens of one Indigenous woman haunted by her sister’s unsolved murder. We bear witness to the emotional journey thousands of families must suffer through as their loved one’s cases sit on the shelves and we investigate the system that allows it to continue.

The Reckoning
Fiscally Sponsored by Investigative Studios
Director/producer, Pulitzer Prize winner, Lowell Bergman. The Reckoning is an in-depth, original analysis that explains the events and decisions that led to the current crisis in mass media. Political polarization, assaults on public health, disinformation, and racist ideological propaganda have become both a national and worldwide phenomenon. The First Amendment has been used to justify providing worldwide reach to hate speech and disinformation, not to mention widespread damage to our youth. This has been accompanied by blanket immunity to any consequences for the platforms that host, distribute, and profit from this clear and present danger. The reckoning is upon us.
American Dream
Fiscally Sponsored by Investigative Studios
Directors/producers, Academy Award Nominees, Daniel Dubiecki & Lara Alameddine. Story about a town that was once the home of the American Dream, but declined by 2011, and dubbed the “unhappiest city.” Haitian immigration revived the town - but with that came fear of “the other” - fueled by social media and now president and vice president - repeating “they’re eating our cats and dogs.” What was the real story - and the consequences of misinformation and hate?
