GoodMakers Films – Our Sister Company
We love to be part of great projects aiming to make a difference globally. In partnership with our sister company, GoodMakers films, we have worked hand in hand to not only fulfill but amplify projects.
Projects
Kenya
Southwest Airlines retrofitted 700 airplanes and replaced 84,000 airline seats with new e-leather as part of their Evolve sustainability program. The challenge was what to do with 43 acres of leather seats. This turned into a 2 year project for us.
Tanzania
Rift Valley Childrens Village. Founded by India Howell, the Rift Valley Childrens Village is designed to improve the lives of marginalized children in Tanzania. This orphanage is like no other, and also develops programs designed to strengthen the community and assist marginalized children from the Karatu District.

Kenya
The Red Cross Kenya. We have worked with the Red Cross on many projects before with out ‘GoodMakersFilms’ projects with ‘Kenyans For Kenya’ and the successful ‘Chagua Peace’ campaign. So when we were approached to create an uplifting TVC we were honoured to be asked to do so. So many well known faces pitched in to help, it was filmed over a week travelling to different places where the Red Cross has projects.
Uganda
Womens Global Empowerment Fund provides critical loans, education and resources to women in post-conflict northern Uganda who are rebuilding their lives after horrific ordeals. WGEF sought GoodMakers assistance with helping to get the word out to a wider audience, and asked if we could film the annual drama festival in Kampala, Uganda.
