ShareDoc is a bridge between storytelling and action. It’s a powerful and accessible way to propel impact beyond the screen, that is replicable and is making a meaningful contribution to the field.

“Daniela Kon Lieberberg SIMA Studios”

I wanted to say HUGE THANKS for your idea and platform! I think we did it well.

Ruslan Fedotow, Filmmaker Away

ShareDoc is a simple and great tool that can benefit many protagonists and also film teams to create impact in an efficient way.

Sini Hormio Filmmaker, Impact Producer, Impact trainer

At CPH:DOX, we were impressed by the spirit and determination of Share Doc to further the efforts of filmmakers and their work, and provide concrete support for film characters and issues they fight for- or with. It is essential that civil society and film collaborate in their role of "change agents” in the society. ShareDoc is an excellent tool to advocate for social, cultural, political and legal change around documentary films.

Tereza Simikova Head of Industry CPH:DOX 2023

ShareDoc is an inspiring intiative, allowing audiences and stories to grow closer together in real life, a goal that many documentaries share.

Esther van Messel Founder & CEO First Hand Films

Sharedoc has given immense relief to Marwa and Raha, the two young Afghans who shared their story for our film 'Inside Kabul'. It has enabled us to gather money to help them out of their country and finance their first weeks in Europe. It has been SO heartwarming to get the support and have a space where all those who were asking to help, could easily do so.

Caroline Gillet Filmmaker (Inside Kabul)

ShareDoc is a fantastic initiative and resource for documentary filmmakers, and we were honoured to have the ShareDoc team at our festival to meet with documentarians from the island of Ireland.
We hope to continue to develop our relationship in the coming years!

Roisín Geraghty / Head of Industry & Marketplace DOCS IRELAND

Docs reflect the state of the world…and it is often not nice what we see. SHAREDOC is a unique tool set up to actually help the people whose life you witness ( and feel for…) in these movies…. you can make a difference. Great idea!

Jan Rofekamp - Films Transit International

I believe ShareDoc can lead to more satisfied audiences at our film festival and significant changes for the protagonists. It would change our image from being an information-oriented and discussion-oriented festival to an action-oriented festival. It is innovative as there are no similar initiatives only focused on the documentary industry.

Eric van de Giessen, Former International Support Manager at Movies that Matter

As the producers of “Inside Kabul”, we sincerely thank all the donors for their incredible support to Marwa and Raha, the Afghan women featured in the film. This solidarity between the protagonists and the donors was made possible through the ShareDoc platform.

In times when the world is on fire, important films continue to be made.
ShareDoc is a special initiative that provides the filmmakers protagonists support.
With the contribution of the audience the goal and call of the film can help both filmmaker and protagonist.

Margje de Koning, Artistic Director Movies that Matter Festival

While we as documentary makers are not allowed to reimburse our characters, Share Doc has ensured that our Daughters of the Sun have received a wonderful contribution for their efforts. I also noticed that the film audience that attended the Q&As really enjoyed to be able to do something concrete for the Yazidi women after watching the film.

Reber Dosky, Filmmaker

Share-doc helps us raise support and awareness that have a direct impact
on the situation of Rashid and his family. It can help the protagonists directly, that are totally disconnected with the world of documentaries. It is a way to give them support in return, to prolong the relation that started with the filming process, and try to help them in return, even at a small scale.

Stephan Riguet AndanaFilms sales

ShareDoc is a great tool for impact practitioners and campaigns,
this is a direct answer for campaigns that want to invite audiences to join a movement
and directly support communities and film participants

Michelle Plascencia, GIPA Partnerships and Programs Lead -Global Impact Producers Alliance

“As a director, I think ShareDoc is a real solution for House of Hope. It allows me to maintain journalistic integrity: I cannot and should not pay my protagonists, while the audience still has a direct way to support them. Seeing phones lift up after the screenings to donate via the QR code is incredible. It’s a way to build a community around the protagonists’ voices. So many people want to help Manar and the school. Through ShareDoc, the film is presented with care, with background info available for those who want updates ”

Marjolein Busstra Dutch director & photographer 'House of Hope'

The audience can be more willing to visit specific documentaries if they can be involved instead of being reduced to passivity. The more festivals engage with ShareDoc, the greater the possibility of a united industry that encourages dialogue between the audience, filmmakers, protagonists, and festival representatives. ShareDoc and film festivals could work together to encourage the rise of an engaged audience willing to go beyond the film experience and engage in broader social changes.

Ondřej Kamenický, Director One World

As a documentry filmmaker I sometimes asked myself – does my job still have sense in this world, overloaded with video material and documentaries of any kind?
Are festivals, red carpets and prizes really my goal? No.

Anastasia Vinokurova, Filmmaker

For socially driven filmmakers, ShareDoc is an unparalleled platform. When I was first introduced to ShareDoc, I immediately felt it was the platform I had been looking for. Our visions aligned — to ensure that the impact of the film reaches every individual within the marginalised community it represents

Bipuljit Basu director Redlight to Limelight

It’s a great opportunity, definitely. It’s very easy and fast to build a landing page through ShareDoc. Any filmmaker knows this feeling, when people come and say, how can I help, how can I support you? For me, for us, and for the girls in Afghanistan, it went really well.
