Floodlights

Floodlight aims to establish long-term collaborations between investigative reporters and film and television producers, scriptwriters, and directors. Journalists can help adapt their extensive reporting about organized crime and corruption into new formats to reach more audiences, while filmmakers can draw on a wealth of content and expertise across subjects to inform their projects. 

“The Floodlight Summit really demonstrated the enthusiastic mutual desire for partnerships between investigative journalists and filmmakers,” said OCCRP Co-Founder Paul Radu. “The awe and respect filmmakers had for the often dangerous work investigative reporters do was inspiring. People who work in the film and TV industries are hungry for in-depth explorations of how organized crime and corruption intersect with daily life, and our network of journalists has no shortage of material.”
