Connecting Stories into Movements
Fourth Act is an impact consultancy built for the filmmaking community. We work alongside studios, production companies and nonprofits to embed impact into the storytelling process, from development through release.
By transforming powerful stories into movements, we give audiences a Fourth Act: the opportunity to engage with and act on the stories that move them, increasing reach and accelerating meaningful change at scale.
We offer end-to-end services that help filmmakers, distributors and philanthropic organizations amplify the cultural impact of their content at every stage of the creative lifecycle.
From development through production and marketing, we bring deep issue-based insight and research-backed considerations that preserve the film’s creative integrity, while ensuring audiences see themselves in the story and are moved to rally around it.
We partner with distributors and producers to design audience engagement strategies and social change campaigns that expand the audience and drive collective action.
We help advocacy leaders and philanthropic organizations to develop strategic initiatives and resources that shift public narrative and create conditions for change.
Fourth Act was co-founded by Nicole Starr and David Linde, with Nicole leading the organization day to day and David serving as an advisor. Alongside a team of trusted collaborators, Fourth Act brings decades of combined experience using storytelling to accelerate progress on the world’s most important issues.
Our approach aligns narrative film, documentary and television content with audience engagement and impact goals, to elevate a cultural conversation and drive measurable impact.
Whether you’re in development, ready to build a campaign or looking for a strategic partner, we’d love to connect. Reach out at:
