How The Radius Project Works (TRP)
The theory behind TRP is that each location where a film is shown is the axis of a radius of exploration. Participants are invited to reimagine their neighborhood as a vibrant hub for curiosity and connection.
We aim to bring neighbors together, strengthen bonds by celebrating discoveries of positive, constructive groups and individuals.
Our archive of over 100 short films seeks to bring clarity to both the motivations and impacts of people interested in taking their community to the next-levels of possibility.
The films feature the insightful voices of parents, educators, journalists, psychologists, and elders discussing the educational value of imaginative and creative thinkers.
Our facilitated discussions support stimulating, intergenerational conversations that emerge from an interactive film screening.
We are using the power of short films to show the best of humanity on all scales—where we live.
Our Film Screenings feature:
Often unseen Impact of local Artists, Environmentalists, and Volunteers
Strategies for sparking first conversations with children about how the subjects of the films enrich the quality of their neighborhood.
Audience Q&A with the subjects of the films
Neighborhoods learn about other Neighborhoods, aka problem-solvers, resourcefulness, and the giving spirit.
Purpose of The Radius Project
