Subject: Open Secret × Working Films — Wilmington impact campaign fit
Dear Molly,
I’m writing about Open Secret, a feature documentary in post-production that investigates how officials in a North Carolina school district protected adults who harmed children. We are raising $50,000 toward completion and a six-month impact campaign. We are not a 501(c)(3); donations are not tax-deductible unless routed through a fiscal sponsor.
Working Films is based in Wilmington — the same city as this story — and Impact Kickstart is built for social-justice documentaries that need an organized audience, not just a festival run. That local overlap is why this letter exists.
If the current cycle is open to a project at our stage, I would like to send a two-page brief and a teaser. Thank you for reading.
Kerry David
