Mission

The Pacific Film Foundation was created to promote educational awareness of important global issues through the power of digital media.

Specifically, the PFF produces films, both for theatrical release and television distribution, to inform and educate the public about rapidly developing subjects, ranging from biotechnology to the environment. Its mandate is to leverage the educational powers and “reach” of film and television (along with its inherent digital and interactive extensions) to inform and empower an increasingly self-reliant, informed and proactive citizenry.

Good Filmmaking

The foundation’s first, “A Delicate Balance,” a 40-minute documentary film is dedicated to the challenges faced by the physician-researchers seeking to advance medical science while saving the precious life of a patient. Shot with digital, high-definition filmmaking equipment, "A Delicate Balance," will be a showcase for the industry’s state-of-the-art in cancer research and treatment, with a special eye toward the daily disciplines of today’s modern researcher-physicians. The film creates a tapestry of human drama, science and technology, and covers all aspects of the fight against cancer, from the laboratory to the bedside.

By working with the industry’s leading filmmakers, The Pacific Film Foundation ensures that its subjects are thoroughly researched and presented with the highest degree of accuracy and editorial objectivity, along with the very highest standards in quality and film production values.

Education

Always aware of the public’s increasing access to high-speed data networks and interactive opportunities, the PFF will produce ALL of its programming with parallel consideration to general education and distance learning applications. Such courseware and “e-learning” materials will serve as a consistent and complimentary extension of every program it produces. In all cases, such materials will be made available to overseas markets and in all available media (VHS, video cassette, DVD, and various “distributed network” applications and systems).

Based on the proven experience, expertise, resources and capabilities of its officers, directors, staff and partners, The Pacific Film Foundation is confident in its ability to meet its mandate and deliver on the promise of accelerated learning through the power of digital media.
