Re-Present Media
Re-Present Media’s mission is to center personal storytelling from marginalized communities in documentary film and nonfiction media to advance social and economic equity.
We include those from diverse racial/ethnic, religious, LGBTQ+, youth/senior, rural, and other backgrounds who are not often represented in mainstream media in the ways we see ourselves. Personal stories are those focused on the lives of individuals, families, and communities. Although social issues may intersect with their lives, these stories are not primarily social issue narratives.
We are empowered when we tell our own stories in a deeply authentic way.
We are currently operating For Us, By Us, a six-month intensive mentoring program for emerging documentary filmmakers in the San Francisco Bay Area who are working on local stories of individuals, families, and communities.
