Mission

Giving the tools away.

Good storytelling shouldn’t depend on a big budget. Through the Foundation, we teach the craft we practice every day and give production time to organizations doing important work in the region.

Every program is run by working members of the EC Media Group crew, on real equipment, with real projects at the end.
