Reel Earth Films

As the team behind Rising Together at Reel Earth Films, and as participants in Arizona Community Foundation’s Environmental Accelerator, this project has meant a lot to us on a personal level.

What stayed with me most is that this film isn’t about ideas. It’s about people already doing the work across Arizona to care for their communities and the land around them.

Being part of the Accelerator, I’ve seen how powerful it is when the right people come together around a shared purpose. It creates a kind of momentum that’s hard to build any other way.

This film really reinforced something for me. The solutions aren’t somewhere out in the future. They’re already happening. The opportunity now is to recognize them and invest in them.

Grateful to help bring these stories forward, and deeply grateful to the people and organizations living this work every day.

And a sincere thank you to Arizona Community Foundation for believing in this vision and helping bring it to life.

We’re excited to celebrate the upcoming premiere of Rising Together, a powerful new film debuting as part of the Sky Fire Film Festival.

The film by Reel Earth Films, highlights the incredible work of nonprofit leaders, funders, and community partners advancing conservation and sustainability across Arizona — an important focus of the Arizona Community Foundation’s environmental strategy.

We’re also proud to see this work featured in the Spring 2026 issue of Frontdoors Media.

The premiere will take place March 28 at the ASU Mix Center and will bring together many of the leaders highlighted in the film for an evening of storytelling, conversation, and connection.

If you’re interested in attending, please contact your Relationship Manager at ACF or call (602)381-1400 for tickets and more details.

At Reel Earth Films, we're not simply telling stories — we’re creating a future where conservation is prioritized, and wildlife thrives. Our films shine a light on the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, but we know that awareness alone isn't enough. It's the action that follows that will truly change the world.

We’re committed to building a sustainable future for wildlife by supporting the scientists, researchers, and conservationists who are working on the ground every day. Through strategic funding, providing crucial resources and equipment, and offering educational tools, we empower those who are making the most direct impact in protecting our planet.

But we can't do it alone. We need visionary investors and philanthropists who understand the power of impact-driven storytelling and are ready to be a part of something far greater than just financial support. This is an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy — not just in film, but in the preservation of our natural world.

We’re looking for partners who are as passionate about change as we are. Together, we can create a ripple effect that will shape the future of conservation, providing lasting solutions for wildlife and ecosystems in need.

Join us. Help us turn this movement into a global force for good. Together, we can make an unparalleled impact on the world’s most critical conservation issues. 🌍💚
