Stonecastle Pictures started in 2008 after our founder Barry received a journalism fellowship funded by the Gates Foundation to direct a feature documentary in Kenya. The film screened at festivals, aired on PBS, and went on to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for a rural health clinic.

Nearly twenty years later, we’re still partnering with mission-driven organizations to share stories the world needs to hear.
