A Bigger Vision Films is an award winning film company - including the Stewart B. McKinney Award - for the tangible impact their films bring to communities nationwide.

The filmmakers traveled 44,000 miles coast to coast, studying the homeless response systems of 12 cities to answer one question: Is there a solution to homelessness where everybody wins?

They not only found that answer to be ‘yes’, they have successfully told the story how every municipality, big or small, can follow a proven blueprint to dramatically solve its homelessness crisis without over-sheltering and excessive police actions.

This is NOT just another film about homelessness - it's a community collaboration experience.

Beyond The Bridge provides a comprehensive and often entertaining analysis of the issue, and leaves audiences inspired and motivated to get to work.

ABOUT THE BEYOND THE BRIDGE NATIONWIDE SOCIAL IMPACT CAMPAIGN

Throughout 2024 - 2026, the Beyond The Bridge team is traveling nationwide on a multi-city screening tour, with the goal of changing the national discourse on solutions to homelessness. Each screening event includes post-screening panels and Q&As, calls- to-action and follow-up activities for audience members, and the opportunity for community members to discuss, together, how they can begin addressing homelessness in their local communities. Ultimately, the campaign goals are to:

1. Change the narrative about people experiencing homelessness and promote solutions to the housing crisis
2. Inspire communities to develop a deeply collaborative homeless response system with housing and supportive services as the primary outcome
3. Build unity among homelessness advocates and amplify their message deep into the general public
4. Expand public involvement on the issue of homelessness
