Collaborative media is:

• Responsive. The needs of all participants are met so that no one agenda can direct the outcome. Through the power of the camera and skilled facilitation, we assist diverse groups as they work their own way to "yes."
• Transformative. By listening and equally valuing all players, we help participants generate breakthroughs in how they see themselves and how they see their partners. Likewise, participants influence how the producer and director create the final product. They get to tell their own stories, not have their stories told by anyone else.
• Diverse. Varied points of view are highlighted as the groups agree and act upon a range of solutions to complex problems.
• Engaging. Projects do not stop with the final editing of the documentary. With the documentary as a catalyst, educational outreach helps audiences participate in conversations about local issues and create social actions in their own communities.

A collaborative media documentary inspires change not panic, hope not anger, on the part of its audience. The global power of the broadcast media is a culturally unprecedented aspect of social change. artistic circles uses the power of the media in responsible, innovative, morally creative ways by seeking transformation through inclusion and diversity.
