Our Approach

Ring Five is a boutique impact producing and grassroots distribution company led by founder and principal impact producer Jackie Garrow. Our focus is on excellently-crafted social justice documentaries with stories of significance to all Canadians. We design and execute strategic impact campaigns that maximize your film’s potential to reach and motivate audiences and inspire lasting and meaningful social change. Inspired by similar boutique companies in the US and UK, Ring Five is proud to be one of the only outfits of its kind in Canada.

WE WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH YOU, THE FILMMAKER.

Together we look at your film and ask the essential - yet often overlooked - question “what exactly do you want your film to do?” We identify how the core strengths of your film can be utilized to affect social change. From there, we create a tangible and focused strategy and work plan known as an impact campaign

WE FORGE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS + MOTIVATE AUDIENCES.

We reach out to the influencers, community groups, institutions and individuals who are natural ambassadors for your film; they are your core audience and key partners. We then go beyond this core to engage decision-makers and stakeholders who are tougher to reach but essential to your impact goals. We develop straight forward calls-to-action that move your audience from passive to active.

WE STAGE SCREENINGS IN UNLIKELY PLACES.

We insert your film wherever it needs to be seen to change minds, open hearts, fight for justice, or raise awareness. We'll orchestrate screenings at a high-school gym, rural community center, medical conference, women’s shelter, university campus, or corporate boardroom.

WE CHAMPION YOUR FILM AND AMPLIFY ITS MESSAGE FOR CHANGE.

Ring Five can generate grassroots demand for your film tapping into community distribution revenue that is often ignored. You have a dream for your film and good reasons for working hard to get it made. We’re here to make those dreams come true. We look forward to meeting you!
