Think-Film have spent a decade running impact campaigns alongside major Hollywood releases, from Dark Waters to Navalny.
Now founder Danielle Turkov is raising a fund to get investors to back the films shaping the issues they care about.
"Budgets for films don't include impact," she tells Impact Loop. "We're looking to completely disrupt that model."

In February 2020, Avengers star Mark Ruffalo delivered a speech at the European Parliament about toxic PFAS ‘forever chemicals’. Within 24 hours it had generated 85 million social media impressions. Within months, 120 companies, including H&M, IKEA and Ralph Lauren, had pledged to stop using the chemicals at the centre of the film he was there to promote.
The film was Dark Waters, a drama about a lawyer's decade-long fight to expose chemical giant DuPont's PFAS cover-up. The awareness campaign behind it was run by Think-Film, a small European company most people in the impact world have never heard of.
