Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Bellwether projects was created to make a new kind of educational film. The company has a mission to produce films that educate both during the production process and through viewing the finished product. The films will cover subjects that students encounter in their studies (the environment, history, natural sciences), but the treatment of the themes will be original-by using humor and observation, by experimenting with storytelling and technical advances, and by collaborating with students and teachers, bellwether projects' films will have their own voice and credibility. The green movie, a feature film that explores the priorities of high school students and the challenges of saving the planet, is the first prodution of bellwether projects.
