Picture Motion is the leading social impact agency developing award-winning advocacy and marketing campaigns for an array of media and entertainment including films, television, books, stage-plays, music, podcasts, and more. We handle all aspects of an impact campaign from defining the distribution strategy and securing strategic partnerships to amplifying awareness and activating audiences through educational touch-points, screenings and experiences. Storytellers, studios, and brands turn to our expert team of impact producers to ensure that their content gets seen, mobilizes communities, and drives long term impact.

Our collaborative approach unites storytellers with our unmatched network of thousands of activists, nonprofits, and foundations, to build social movements around must-see content. Over the past 10 years, Picture Motion has partnered on over 200 groundbreaking projects and has long been at the forefront of reimagining how to activate audiences. It’s our mission to leverage storytelling to inspire empathy, convene people, and ignite brave conversations and action.

Although we aim to create impact through each and every project we work on, Picture Motion also works to make a dent in the larger issues at hand and be a vehicle for active progressive change through all of the many different campaigns and stories we are a part of.

Movies are better when we watch them together. We help anyone curate and show films — online or in person — to build community and make cash.

We do this by offering a platform for filmmakers to manage their non-theatrical exhibition (aka screening tours) both online and offline, and through developing partnerships with creative cinema spaces, organizations and community leaders to host their own screening events.

We call it human-centered distribution. It starts with an individual and extends to their community. An influencer with a following, a pastor with a church, or an activist with a mission, all can leverage the magic of moviegoing within their spaces — online and off — to build community and connection.

By showing films through Kinema you’re bringing art to creative & communal spaces, and supporting new and independent filmmakers.

Launch your own movie house today to support the filmmaking you want to see.
