Filmstacker Documentaries
Transform the Way Audiences Engage with Your Story
Documentary filmmaking is a powerful tool for change. At Filmstacker, we help you take it one step further—inviting audiences to not just watch your film, but *interact* with it. Whether you're crowdsourcing real-life footage or building outreach tools for educators, advocates, or communities, Filmstacker empowers viewers to “choose their own adventure” through your story.
- Crowdsourced Storytelling Harness real footage from contributors across the globe. Filmstacker makes it easy to organize, curate, and present user-generated content in compelling, customizable formats.
- Interactive Outreach Let your audience dive deeper. Whether it’s policymakers, students, or grassroots organizers, Filmstacker allows them to explore the aspects of your film that matter most to them—on their own terms.
- Modular Clip Navigation Supplement your core film with interviews, behind-the-scenes segments, or thematic branches that can be browsed dynamically.
- Amplify Impact Turn viewers into participants. Encourage action, discussion, and further learning through embedded calls to action, shareable scenes, and educational toolkits.
