How do you follow up one of the most buzz-worthy documentaries in years? If you’re Crystal Moselle, director of The Wolfpack, a shockingly entertaining doc about a family of film-loving shut-ins, you use your platform and prestige to bring attention to a cause you care about. For her follow-up, Moselle teamed up with her friend Fazeelat Aslam, producer of the 2012 Academy Award-winning Saving Face, to film a three-part series of documentary shorts that profile women affected by the water crisis in Haiti, Kenya, and Peru. What makes this project different: It was funded by a brand. Specifically: Stella Artois beer, as part of its “Buy A Lady A Drink” campaign, done in partnership with water.org. To dig in deeper, I chatted with Moselle about her new project, and how working with brands to create content could be the future of advocacy-oriented filmmaking.
