"Our homeless shelter collaborated with Boston Filmworks to create a short documentary film for a critical fundraising event, which kicked off our 40th anniversary. You could hear a pin drop while the film was playing, and it worked. The event raised an unprecedented amount of money."

Henry Morris, Communications and Marketing Manager
Women’s Lunch Place
"Boston Filmworks created a compelling story that captured the hope, resilience and possibility that exists when you invest in families, and did it with sensitivity for the program participants. At the film's premier, we were able to generate over $150,000 in philanthropic support."

Gloria Perez, CEO, Jeremiah Program
"Boston Filmworks made on a compassionate film about families coming for specialized medical care in Boston. The premier showing was at our largest annual fundraiser, and since then we have shared it with key hospital contacts, foundations, grant providers, board members and potential hosts, moving most to tears. It is expected to generate more donations than ever before."

"I’ve worked with dozens of directors and producers at the top of their professions. Steve Liss would be in the top tier among this group. Steve’s work never sought to exploit his subjects but rather to shine a light on their lives, on their hopes, and on the struggles they endured."
