Campaign story
Why this matters
For four seasons we embedded with three multi-generational fishing families. Atlantic Drifts is not a policy lecture—it is patient observation of nets, ice houses, union halls, and kitchen-table decisions when quotas shift overnight.
The story
Funding unlocks final winter shoot, legal review for archival news footage, original score sessions with a Halifax string trio, and a impact tour with NGOs working on just transition. We have a fiscal sponsor, E&O insurance quotes, and a distribution consultant on retainer. Every tier includes transparent budget notes so backers see exactly what line items their pledge supports.
