Case Study: unseen
As part of our 2025 Beyond Resilience series, we are publishing case studies of films and impact campaigns by Firelight Media-supported filmmakers in order to provide a detailed overview of the filmmaker's journey from ideation to research and development to production to post-production, distribution, and impact and engagement.
For the first of our case studies, we focused on filmmaker Set Hernandez, who is an alum of Firelight Media's Impact Producer Fellowship, Documentary Lab, and Impact Campaign Fund. Set graciously shared their filmmaker journey with us for this report, and shared further details in our Beyond Resilience event, "Owning Distribution."
