How We Give Back

The short films we produce are available to view online, they're given to other non-profits to use, and given to school districts to use, all at no cost.  If proceeds are made from any of our feature film projects, Silver Dove Films will donate a portion of the profits to benefit the public. For example, the subject of one of our films deals with veterans returning home with PTSD.  For this film, we've decided to donate 50% of the net profits to organizations that benefit veterans.
