Creating Community for the Creative Community

Description:

The pandemic has dramatically impacted the events industry, with cancellations and financial losses abound. Independent writers and filmmakers from high schoolers to professionals relied on festivals like SXSW and in-person book campaigns for visibility into their hard work. When SXSW got canceled in March 2020, the 70+ short films created by independent filmmakers needed a home. Book festival cancellations followed and due to the stay-at-home orders, writers needed a place to share their work and perspectives. As a creative agency, we knew the opportunity to help other creatives and building a visually stunning and immersive experience befitting of their hard work was bigger than us. Thus began our partnership with Mailchimp to create new digital homes for these talented creatives.
