I am very impressed with the mission and the resources of your organization. I especially think that it's important to give young students exposure to the problems face by people in developing countries. Documentaries are the ideal medium for getting the message across. — Don Perrault
I have been doing a lot of online investigating at various database and distributor sites for [a] program and I just have to say that MediaRights is the ONLY site that creates a separate category for youth media. I have gone to [other film databases online] and when you click on youth you mostly see titles made by adults ... I really appreciate the way your database is structured. — Mindy Faber
MediaRights is a tremendous resource - a global database of films that matter. Every time I visit the site I come across titles I want to see and, were it not for MediaRights, might never have heard of." — Ryan Deussing
"A short note to thank you for MediaRights and the resources offered to the documentary community from this excellent platform. We here in Williamsburg, Brooklyn are working on an upcoming series ... we were thankful for the MediaRights resource guide in doing research and looking for material." — Donal O'Ceilleachair
"I have had great response from your site including interest expressed by a major distributor of docs for my film, even though it is not finished yet." — Kathleen Kennedy
"What you are providing to the documentary filmmaker is badly needed." — Dave Rowton
"I am deeply grateful for this site. As a social activist documentary filmmaker with a 'mission', who is always 'hustling' for resources (everything from funders to equipment to viewers to buyers) forever searching for the right match at a constellation of levels... I find it awe-inspiring to be listed on this site and have access to so many relevant resources. And to be listed as a resource for others." — Dorothy Fadiman, Concentric Media
"Creative distribution is more and more critical. MediaRights is helping film and media makers get their work out in new ways to new audiences." — Karen Helmerson, Director, Electronic Media and Film, NYSCA
"It used to be so hard to find documentary films. Now, with MediaRights I can go to one place to find social issue documentaries. I no longer have to track down distributors from all over the country to get their catalogs." — Barbara Abrash, Associate Director, Center for Media and History, New York University
"Your festival represents a great beacon for people like me trying to do more alternative work. You give hope to us out here that someone might actually see our work." — Andrew DeAngelo, Youth Producer
"Outreach campaigns expand the value of a documentary. Activities created around a film have the potential to make a lasting impact within a community, or even on the nation as a whole. MediaRights aggregates both social issue documentaries and social service agencies that can utilize those documentaries. By doing so, it becomes a hub, serving all in our society who are working to bring about positive social change." — Alyce Myatt, Vice President, Programming, PBS Midwest
"MediaRights is a great resource. We found seven films, all of which we are airing on DUTV Community Cultural Educational Television. Empowerment is a great priority of ours. I never would have found these titles and I would never have been able to pass them on to our audience without MediaRights. Thank you!" — Deborah Rudman, Program Director DUTV Community Cultural Educational Television, Drexel University Television
"MediaRights is definitely one of my favorite organizations. So many people are visual learners, and for them, QUALITY alternatives are difficult to come by. Every time you send out your newsletter, I KNOW so many new exciting opportunities now await them!" — Gina Boltz, Editor, Native Village.org
"MediaRights has been helpful to my project by posting ideas that worked for others and by publishing case histories. Personally, MediaRights also gives me the sense of being part of a greater documentary community. I like referring to it when I get the feeling like I'm reinventing the wheel on my own. There's usually a story that I can draw an "Aha" from and some inspiration. Keep it up! — Bill Kavanagh, Producer/Director, "Brick By Brick: A Civil Rights Story"
