Co-created by Jennifer Tiexiera and Peace is Loud, this resource details a model for establishing informed, active consent throughout the filmmaking process.

When filmmaker Jennifer Tiexiera directed the documentary series Unveiled: Surviving La Luz del Mundo, she used a consent calendar: a system she designed to ensure the series’ participants could make decisions around their participation at every stage of the process. With this system, consent became an ongoing, active dialogue. It was born out of a non-extractive filmmaking approach, a way to hold filmmakers and distributors accountable and keep them communicative, as well as minimize potential damage that could be done to participants throughout the filmmaking process.

In this resource, Peace is Loud examines how Jennifer structured this consent calendar, why it was effective and meaningful, and how other filmmakers, distributors, and industry members might use a similar model for their projects.
