Displaced will be our last scripted film for a while until revenue picks up if it does. Our next movie in the series is "Exausgted', about a caseworker to show homelessness through their lens. The film aims to counter all the myths about nonprofits and homeless services and show the crazy amount of bureaucracy it takes to help someone get into housing! I really hope that we will soon be able to expand programs instead of cutting them, but I do not believe individual donations are coming back.
2/ I should add that it doesn't make sense to produce more films until we can raise funds for impact campaigns to accompany them. Displaced is our best film to date. I’m super grateful for all the individuals who helped make it happen, but without philanthropy's support, we were not able to create an impact campaign to fight the criminalization of homelessness. The potential for significant impact is there—it's just that the funding is not. We reach more people by educating them on homelessness than all nonprofits in the United States combined, and many of them have multi-million dollar marketing budgets. We do everything with tiny budgets. Don't believe me, here's our 2023 impact report invisiblepeople.tv/impact
