Got Waste?

NFS is the fiscal agent for a documentary about how we define and repurpose waste

The film will document people repurposing and living off waste, while exploring the historical context and psychology of how we perceive waste in a consumer-driven society. “Raising funds to produce non-commercial media can be a challenge,” stated Brian Tinger, NFS board member. “With our tax-exempt status, we are able to help projects attract donors by offering a 100% tax deduction on all contributions.”

Support the next generation of filmmakers

Reel Vision is an out-of-school-time filmmaking project in which urban youth earn college credit and are empowered with technical and media literacy skills necessary to advocate for social change.

"I do think it is important for youth to make their own movies because then they can show everyone what really happens in their lives without stereotypes."
- Shanice Gonsalves, 17, Brockton High School
