The Next Five Years Start Here.
Five years ago, we set out to inspire fellow Hoosiers with our own stories.
Stories about the people, places, and experiences that make Indiana extraordinary. Stories that challenge our assumptions, broaden our perspectives, and remind us how much we have in common.
Today, we're helping more Hoosiers tell those stories, share them with audiences, and spark conversations that make a difference.
We've accomplished a lot together. But we're just getting started.
Help us raise $25,000 by December 31 to launch the next chapter of Indiana documentary storytelling.
Look What We've Built Together.
In just five years, Hoodox has grown from an ambitious idea into a community of filmmakers, audiences, and supporters who believe stories have the power to connect us.
Together, we've:
Given Indiana documentaries a home.
Through Hoodox.tv, film screenings, and special events, we've created new opportunities for Indiana filmmakers to share their work—and for audiences to discover stories unfolding in their own communities.
Over 150 titles have streamed on Hoodox.tv since 2021!
Invested directly in Indiana filmmakers.
Through programs like PitchDox and LIFT, we've put meaningful financial resources and professional opportunities into the hands of filmmakers bringing Indiana stories to life.
We’ve given over $150,000 in financial support to filmmakers!
Brought Hoosiers together through storytelling.
From community screenings to meaningful conversations with filmmakers, we've created spaces where curiosity brings people together, different perspectives are welcomed, and stories inspire action.
Through dozens of events we’ve engaged thousands of Hoosier audience members and filmmakers!
Imagine What We Can Do in the Next Five Years.
Our first five years were about building a foundation. The next five are about building on it.
We envision an Indiana where more storytellers have the resources to bring their ideas to life. Where documentaries made in our state reach audiences far beyond it. And where stories bring people together across differences, spark important conversations, and inspire positive change.
We're already taking the next steps—expanding filmmaker support, creating new pathways to funding and professional development, and finding new ways to bring Indiana documentaries to audiences.
But we can't do it alone.
Your support helps make this work possible.
An Invitation to Be Part of What's Next.
Five years ago, Hoodox began with a simple belief: our own stories have the power to inspire us.
Everything we've accomplished since has only strengthened that belief. We've met extraordinary filmmakers, discovered remarkable stories, and witnessed what happens when people come together around documentary film.
I'm proud of what we've built. But what excites me most isn't looking back at the last five years. It's imagining what we can accomplish together in the next five.
I hope you'll be part of it.
