Producer Jess Devaney has been tapped to lead Perspective Films, a documentary co-production initiative launched by Perspective Fund. The initiative will provide both funding and producing support for culture, narrative and change-focused documentaries. Perspective Films’ first slate will be announced this fall. 

Devaney joins Perspective Films as a narrative strategist and the founder of Multitude Films, a documentary studio. At Perspective Films, she will focus on “partnering with filmmakers across development, production, distribution and impact,” a model “grounded in the understanding that socially engaged documentary storytelling is most effective when sustained creative collaboration is paired with meaningful resources over time – particularly for projects navigating complex creative, logistical and political terrain,” per the company.
