SOIL’s mission is to take the burden of the budget away especially for films like this. We will produce a short video, 2-5 minutes absolutely at no cost to your non-profit. We are actively working with engaging corporations and individual sponsors who will fund your projects and/or volunteer filmmakers who will contribute time to make this happen.

Our expertise is the local network of volunteers who have great films in their belt.
