Services

Social Impact Campaign Development & Implementation

Kait has a decade of experience working with films and TV series that address social issues and seek to educate the public and create social change. She can develop and execute your full campaign strategy — including but not limited to developing your campaign’s calls to action, establishing and managing partnerships with issue-area nonprofits, and grassroots/community screening research, outreach, and fulfillment.

Creative Strategy Development

Excited about your piece of content but not sure where to start in order to get it out into the world? Let Kait help by developing a strategy for you and your team.

Grassroots (Non-Theatrical) Distribution

Want to hang onto the rights to your film for a bit longer, but want to make sure it’s seen? Kait can work with you to find the right communities and help you get your film there, handling all aspects of this type of non-theatrical distribution.

Kait has experience organizing both in-person and virtual screening events.

Virtual Screening Event Production & Management

Given the realities of our new lifestyle due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kait is able to work with you to develop, market, and coordinate all back-end logistics and day-of event production for virtual events on a variety of platforms. She can help you select the correct platform for your film based on your budget and needs.

Social & Digital Marketing Strategy

These days, “social media marketing” encompasses everything from website building to managing social channels, tracking hashtags, and even the development and execution of actions like Twitter Chats and Facebook and Instagram Live streams. Kait can work with you to develop an overall strategy, including the best platforms to use to promote your content, how to utilize in-kind partnerships, and more. Depending on her availability, she may also be able to handle day-to-day social media management for you.

Project Treatments / Pitches

Have an idea for a TV show / live show / film (narrative or documentary) that you want to pitch, but need help writing and designing a treatment? Kait can write and design a treatment / pitch deck or a more standard Word-style document.

Kait can also work with you to develop and design a sales deck, if you have a completed film or other media project and are looking for additional investors or sponsors as you work to get it out into the world.

She also has contacts in the storyboarding/illustration world if you would like to include a few pitch boards (black & white or color) to help flesh out your idea more visually.

Hourly consultation packages also available.

Some services listed are flat rate and others are contract-based (monthly retainer). Please contact Kait for more information and accurate pricing for your needs and budget.

About Kait

Kait Halibozek is a freelance impact producer and grassroots marketing strategist based in Los Angeles, CA. With a decade of experience working at the intersection of social impact and entertainment, she believes in the power of film to educate, inspire, and create social change.

She first became interested in impact producing while at Participant Media early in her career, and in 2015 she began working at award-winning impact agency Picture Motion. She spent over four years there, where she focused on developing strategies and implementing campaigns that blended grassroots marketing and distribution tactics with partnerships with nonprofits, governmental organizations, and faith organizations to bring content with a socially conscious angle to communities nationwide. Her work helped Picture Motion win multiple Shorty Social Good (now Shorty Impact) Awards, including for Red Bull Media House's Blood Road and National Geographic's docuseries Chain of Command.

In 2019, Kait left Picture Motion and founded Kait Halibozek Consulting. Her clients have included PCH Films (Turning Point; Linda and the Mockingbirds), nonprofits BrightFocus Foundation and Project Blackbird, Nine Vine and Sideyard Studios (The Quiet Epidemic), and Boat Rocker Studios (War Game, a Sundance Film Festival 2024 Official Selection). Since 2021, she has been on the Advisory Board for HOME Storytellers, a nonprofit organization that uses the power of visual storytelling to amplify solutions to the refugee crisis.
