Our Process
Consent & Control
From the first conversation to the final cut, every survivor retains 100% authority over their story, their image, and their voice. This is not just a policy — it is the foundation of everything we do.
Step 01
The Pre-Interview Consultation
Before the cameras ever turn on
Every survivor is offered a preliminary conversation — completely off-camera — to discuss their boundaries, triggers, and what they do not want to share. This conversation belongs entirely to you. Nothing is recorded. Nothing is assumed. We listen first.
Step 02
Visual & Auditory Protection
Your identity, your choice
Visual
We utilize professional silhouette lighting and artistic masking techniques that preserve your dignity while keeping you completely anonymous. Your face, your form — protected.
Auditory
Professional post-production voice modulation protects your identity while maintaining the full emotional resonance of your story. Your truth is heard — your voice, shielded.
Step 03
The Kill Switch Protocol
You are always in control
Survivors retain the absolute right to pause or end the interview at any time — no questions asked, no pressure applied. Beyond that, every participant is given the right to review their segment of the footage before the final cut is locked. Your story does not go anywhere without your approval.
Step 04
Trauma-Informed Support
A bridge, not a replacement
We are not therapists — and we never pretend to be. But we act as a bridge. Every participant receives access to resource lists including RAINN and other support organizations. We strongly encourage each person to have a support person or advocate present throughout the interview process. You should never walk through this alone.
Support Resources
If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to RAINN — the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. Their confidential hotline is available 24/7.
