Why use film to change the world? BeCause.

Karen // August 12, 2009

Thanks to our good friend Ken Waagner over at
Smartley-Dunn, we were able to get involved with an incredible non-profit organization called
The BeCause Foundation, which takes a novel approach to solving some of society's least understood and rarely discussed problems. BeCause leverages the powerful medium of documentary film to educate and empower audiences, enabling grassroots solutions to such issues as child sexual abuse, healthcare for the homeless, and more. We worked with Ken and BeCause to build a dynamic site designed by Smartley-Dunn to showcase the foundation's growing catalog of films. If you haven't heard of them, check out the site at
becausefoundation.org. It's amazing how inspiring a powerful story can be -- especially when it's true.
