The Moxie Institute has made a name for itself creating and distributing socially minded films in exciting new ways by coupling traditional media like films, books, and live events with new technologies to engage people with the important questions of our day. Its projects address issues including the impact of technology, cultural identity, women?s rights, the environment, and how these elements interact in our complex global reality. Its projects also serve as case studies to test new ways of reaching people. The knowledge gained from these experiments helps the Institute to determine best practices that it then shares with other independent film and media makers through its website and conferences.
The founders are Tiffany Shlain and U.C. Berkeley professor Ken Goldberg, working with Carlton Evans Ph.D. and others, who together have over five decades of experience with films, the Internet, live events, symposia, and a variety of new media projects that deliver powerful and resonant experiences in support of social awareness and change. Their last project, The Tribe, was singled out by the Sundance Institute, the New York Times, and Variety as an example of innovative distribution using the Internet and engaging audiences with live events, and was the first documentary to reach #1 on iTunes. Other projects include Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness, about reproductive rights in America, and Yelp: With Apologies to Allen Ginsberg?s Howl, which explores the importance of unplugging occasionally from technology.
