The Windrider Institute creates, curates and responds to film and visual media, sparking thoughtful conversation around the most significant topics in our culture.
Rooted in the belief that God’s Spirit is active through the arts, Sharing Shalom Through Story will facilitate interactive connection through the curation and distribution of faith-filled film and conversation resources to large networks.
The grant will also be able to bring three components to life – content acquisition (curation and licensing of ten award-winning short and/or feature films to illuminate culturally relevant topics at the highest level), engagement acceleration (creation of ten correlated film/resource packages to connect the films’ themes to faith themes for usage among existing and expanding influential Christian networks), and network expansion (in partnership with Wedgwood Circle to serve as an initial convening to illicit broader local network partnerships between dense, overlapping, and aligned Christian organizations).
