Impact, Indigenized.

Impact is measured not only by how far a story travels, but by how it gives back. We believe stories can heal, educate, and transform, which is why every impact campaign is grounded in a deep commitment to community.

We work to ensure our stories serve the communities they depict by fostering connection, accountability, and ongoing engagement.

Campaign Strategy

We develop impact campaigns from strategy through implementation, building on the unique strengths of every film and community, and we always work in deep collaboration with filmmakers, Tribal Nations, organizations, and local partners. We produce meaningful screenings, workshops, and creative engagement strategies, measuring success through both quantitative outcomes and the stories, relationships, and lasting impact created along the way.

Resource Production

We create resources that help films spark meaningful engagement long after the credits roll. Our guides and toolkits include event planning support, discussion prompts, educational materials, action steps, and community resources designed to help organizations facilitate thoughtful conversations.

Long-Term
Impact

Our long-term impact support helps films remain accessible and relevant through ongoing screening request management, partnership cultivation, educational outreach, and community engagement. By building sustainable systems that extend beyond a film's release, we help filmmakers create lasting relationships with audiences while ensuring their stories continue to inspire conversation, learning, and action for years to come.

Alternative Distribution

We believe community tours are a sustainable model for film distribution in a rapidly changing industry. By bringing films directly to audiences through partnerships with Tribal Nations, schools, museums, nonprofits, festivals, and community organizations, we create opportunities for cinematic experiences that otherwise might not exist. Our tours expand access to independent cinema and demonstrate that community-centered distribution can generate both cultural impact and long-term value for filmmakers.

Indigenous Impact Labs

We provide customized impact production trainings that equip organizations, filmmakers, and communities with the tools to design and lead their own impact campaigns long after a film is complete.

Our trainings combine practical strategy with real-world experience, covering topics such as impact campaign design, community engagement, partnership development, event planning, educational outreach, evaluation, and long-term sustainability. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, each training is tailored to the unique cultural values, goals, and needs of the community or organization we are working alongside.

A recent example of this work is our partnership with the International Sámi Film Institute (ISFI), where we developed and led a multi-day impact production training in Norway as part of the Silenced Voices initiative. The program was designed to help cultivate the first generation of Sámi impact producers, providing participants with the knowledge, mentorship, and practical tools to create culturally grounded impact campaigns for Indigenous films across Sápmi.

Whether working with Tribal Nations, Indigenous organizations, film institutes, universities, nonprofits, or community groups, our goal is the same: to build local capacity, strengthen storytelling ecosystems, and empower communities to lead their own impact work for years to come.

Rez Tour

Rez Tour is a community-centered initiative that brings films, conversations, and creative programming directly to Indigenous Nations around the world. Whether urban or rural, Rez Tour is designed to meet communities where they are, by offering screenings, dialogue circles, workshops, and culturally aligned experiences tailored to each location. It creates space for intergenerational connection and meaningful engagement in alignment with the themes of each project. By traveling intentionally and building relationships along the way, Rez Tour ensures that impactful media is shared with the people it represents first and foremost.

In partnership with Doc Society, Good Trade Productions is proud to offer the free Rez Tour Guide, a resource designed to support film teams in planning and sharing their work with Indigenous communities thoughtfully and respectfully.
