Cinereach is a nonprofit story incubator and media production company working at the intersection of impact storytelling and popular entertainment. Founded as a film foundation and production company in New York, NY in 2006, the organization provided grants, awards, and an annual fellowship, working closely with other film development organizations such as the Sundance Institute and other film funding organizations. In 2021, Cinereach expanded to incorporate a systems thinking approach to developing original content, and began working in additional media including television and video games.

Expansion

With a growing interest in narrative change and systems thinking, Cinereach developed a research and development process to further understand how to create stories that cut through silos and move audiences to greater curiosity, empathy, and agency. The insight garnered from this research enables Cinereach to strategically partner with storytellers and other organizations to create original content in film, television, video games, and other media.

The organization also continues to invest in film productions that align with their values, including Reality (2023), Tuesday (2023), Mustache (2023), and musical documentary New Wave (2024).
