How to Be Considered for a Documentary
We partner with passionate rescuers and nonprofits to document real stories from the front lines of animal rescue. If you’d like to be featured in an upcoming iFilm Heroes documentary, here’s how it works:
1 Watch the Film
Watch our current documentary on YouTube to understand the style, tone, and mission behind iFilm Heroes. This will give you a clear idea of what to expect.
2 Submit the Form Below
Complete the form with your information and a short description of your rescue work. We’re looking for honest, impactful stories that highlight the challenges and victories of saving animals.
3 Fundraising Requirement
Before filming begins, we must raise at least $2,500 through the official GoFundMe link. This covers travel and Airbnb costs only—not production.
◦ Once these expenses are recouped, all remaining and future funds raised through the official campaign link will be split 50/50 for life between iFilm Heroes and the featured rescue.
4 Availability for Filming
If selected, you or a representative from your organization must be available for up to 10 days of filming. This allows us to capture your story in-depth and showcase your work authentically.
Additional Terms & Transparency
• After the film is published on YouTube, and the one-year fundraising period has ended, both parties have equal rights to use the completed film for their own purposes. This includes the right to promote the film, share it, or raise donations independently.
• iFilm Heroes is responsible for producing and delivering the final film. We do not guarantee any specific donation amount and are not responsible for generating donations through our network or following.
To Be Considered For The Documentary, Please Fill Out The Form.
At iFilmHeroes, we believe that every animal rescuer has a powerful story to tell. We are passionate about capturing the raw, real moments of dog and cat rescuers in the trenches—those who dedicate their lives to saving animals in need. If you have a rescue story that deserves to be told, we would love to hear it. While we can’t film every submission, we carefully read and appreciate each one because every rescue matters.
If you’d like to share your story with us, please fill out the form below. This form should be completed by an adult over the age of 18. To review our terms and conditions, including our privacy policy, click here. Thank you for being a hero for animals!
Story Guidelines:
1. Any Format, Any Length: Your story can be a written account, a video, photos, audio recordings, or even a combination of formats. We welcome all creative ways of storytelling!
2. Original Stories Only: We want to showcase real rescue stories, so please submit only your own experiences and avoid fictional accounts or stories involving characters from movies, TV, or books.
3. Your Voice Matters: Share your story in your own words. If someone is assisting you in writing or recording, make sure it still reflects your unique perspective and experience.
4. Real-Life Impact: Whether it’s a dramatic rescue, an inspiring transformation, or the daily struggles of animal rescue work, we want to hear about the moments that matter.
We can’t wait to read (or watch!) your story. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of animals!
