Have You Seen My Film? A Kinema Podcast

State of Impact with Brian Walker & Juliette Richey (Picture Motion)

Join Brian Walker and Juliette Richey from Picture Motion for a conversation about the state of impact storytelling. We talk about how impact campaigns are being funded today, why traditional distribution models are shifting, and how filmmakers can think more strategically about impact from the earliest stages of a project. Brian and Juliet also share how Picture Motion is evolving its work across strategy, partnerships, educational campaigns, screenings, and awards support through initiatives like To Be Seen. If you’re a filmmaker, impact producer, or anyone thinking about how stories reach and move audiences, this episode is full of practical insight on what’s changing, what’s working, and where impact storytelling may be headed next.
