Films with a focus on the arts, environment and social justice
Since 2014, HJacobsCreative has produced four feature-length documentaries and numerous short docs, most of which have been broadcast on Georgia public television stations and screened in theaters, libraries, classrooms and film festivals. “Lo-fi, thoughtful boutique affairs that keep it local while exploring big ideas,” in the words of Candice Dyer for the Atlanta Constitution.
A few times a year we also produce videos for nonprofits and arts groups — please contact us if you have a project in mind.
