Film It Forward
Your story helps tell theirs.
Every business has a story worth telling. 💛
But not every organisation has the budget, resources or opportunity to tell theirs.
That's where Film It Forward comes in.
When you work with Rastrick Media, a portion of eligible project fees contributes to our Film It Forward fund. Throughout the year, those contributions come together to help us create professional films for community organisations, charities and causes doing important work.
You tell your story.
Together, we help tell theirs.
Our goal
One community story at a time.
Our goal is simple. To use our skills, experience and love of storytelling to help community organisations tell stories that deserve to be heard.
Our 2026 goal

You tell your story.
We help tell theirs.
Film It Forward is built into the way we do business.
You don't need to donate extra.
You don't need to fund a second production.
You simply work with Rastrick Media on your own project, and a portion of eligible project fees contributes towards making another story possible.
You work with us.
You hire Rastrick Media to tell your story. A commercial. A corporate film. A brand story. A campaign. A documentary. A digital project. Whatever the production, you're already doing something good for your business.
We make a contribution.
A portion of eligible Rastrick Media project fees goes towards Film It Forward. Your project helps create the opportunity for another story to be told.
The contributions add up.
Throughout the year, contributions from Rastrick Media projects come together. One project might contribute a little. Another might contribute more. Together, they create something significant.
We find a story.
When the time is right, we work with a community organisation, charity or cause to identify a story that deserves to be heard. A story that could create awareness, build support, attract volunteers, raise funds, or simply help more people understand the work being done.
We make the film.
Rastrick Media brings the creative and production expertise. The organisation brings the story. Together, we create a professional film that they can use to share their work and reach more people.
The story goes further.
The finished film belongs to the organisation. They can share it, use it in their campaigns, put it on their website, show it to supporters, use it to raise awareness, and hopefully create a ripple of their own.
One project can create a ripple. 🌊
We don't believe every client should have to fund an entire community film.
And we don't believe we should promise to make one every time we pick up a camera.
Instead, we've created something more sustainable.
A portion of eligible project fees goes into Film It Forward.
Those contributions accumulate throughout the year.
When we've reached our goal, we put them to work.
The result? Your project becomes part of something bigger.
Want to help choose the story?
We'd love to hear from you.
If you know a community organisation, charity or cause doing important work, you can nominate them for consideration.
You know your community. You know the people doing great things.
So if there's an organisation you think deserves to be heard, tell us about them. We'll keep their story in mind when we're choosing our next Film It Forward project.
What kind of stories?
We're interested in stories that matter.
We can't promise every nomination will become a film. But every nomination helps us discover the people and organisations doing great things around us.
This isn't a charity discount.
It's a different way of doing business.
Film It Forward isn't about asking our clients to give something up.
It's about using what we already do to create something extra.
Your business gets the film it needs.
A community organisation gets the chance to tell its story.
And Rastrick Media gets to use the skills we love for something that matters.
Everybody wins. ✨
The ripple
One story can change a conversation.
A conversation can change a perception.
A perception can change a decision.
A decision can change a life.
We don't know where every story will go.
That's the point.
We just want to give it a chance to travel.
Want to be part of the ripple?
If you're looking for a production partner, your next project could help make another story possible.
Tell your story. Help tell theirs. Film It Forward.
