One of our core visions at One Long House is to pursue what we call Incubator Projects. These are projects that we produce with our own resources—no client, no paycheck. Some have the idea of making money in the future, others are just a way to give back in whatever way we can, and the best ones do both.

We are just starting our first full, from-scratch, major-launch Incubator Project. It’s called Women’s Voices Now and its a non-profit for global women’s rights; the first project of which is an online film festival geared at Muslim women’s stories.

It’s a major undertaking as it will require 2 sites, full identity, a slew of collateral, many cooks in one kitchen, film partners, non-profit partners, tons of bandwidth, eager filmmakers, interesting stories, and a bunch of other stuff that we don’t even realize yet—but it will all be worth it. Nothing feels better than creating something from that ever-scary blank page and having it reach the world with a message you think is worthy.

If you’d like to help out, give us a holler.
