Fotolanthropy’s unique mission is to create powerful films that share true stories of strength and hope.
Since our founding, Fotolanthropy has created 26 films, including three feature-length documentaries and numerous shorts, all of which aim to challenge, uplift and inspire viewers.
Fotolanthropy’s first full-feature documentary, “Travis: A Soldier’s Story,” shares the raw, real story of veteran and quadruple amputee SSG Travis Mills. The award-winning film was screened across the country, including in New York’s Times Square and the U.S. Capitol. Receiving standing ovations at every screening, the film was also endorsed by actor and veterans advocate Gary Sinise.
Next, Fotolanthropy produced “The Luckiest Man,” a feature documentary about successful businessman John Paine and his 18-year battle with ALS. A film about hope beyond circumstances, “The Luckiest Man” chronicles Paine’s transformation and desire to help others despite his diagnosis.
In 2021, Fotolanthropy released “7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story,” a full-feature documentary that shares the resilience of athlete, husband and father Chris Norton. Paralyzed playing college football, Norton was told he would likely never walk again. Fotolanthropy captured his journey from the football field to the wedding aisle, where he walked seven yards with his wife by his side. The film was picked up by Netflix, featured on trending lists and streamed by global audiences on AppleTV, Prime Video, Tubi, YouTube and beyond.
