Our story begins in May 2017 when Jenn Lindsay was filming a Buddhist monk in Rwanda for the documentary film Minding Shadows and she heard an African proverb that shifted her solitary work ethic: “In order to go fast, work alone; in order to go far, work with others.” Jenn and two other women filmmakers—editor Sarah McTeigue and director Kiki Miller—conceived of a collaborative, women-led film production team that produces diverse content that balances out the destructive media climate of misrepresentation and tokenism—all the while embracing aspiring media professionals as they develop their skill sets and sharpen their storytelling craft, while raising awareness of social issues through compelling films and film education initiatives.

​

In January 2020, through her position as a professor of sociology and communications at John Cabot University in Rome, Jenn formed a group of assistant editors to collaborate on post-production and building a release strategy for the feature-length documentary Simulating Religious Violence. The team then grew exponentially with every passing academic semester, slowly expanding its range of film projects
 

Our operations remain based in Rome with an infrastructure that accommodates collaboration from multiple locations and countries, allowing for more team diversity and professional consultation opportunities. Together, the So Fare team members “learn by doing,” always growing their skills and vision on the way to making a serious contribution to a healthier, more fair media climate.
