Since its inception, The Essential Image Source Foundation has accumulated hundreds of thousands of high definition images and produced numerous films, public service announcements and other educational and scientific by-products. However, we are not simply another film production entity. Rather, high definition filmmaking is the platform by which we effectuate change, educate and inform, prompt action, and leave a legacy of making a positive difference in our world, as well as, inspiring others to do the same.

More notable also is the innovative and enterprising approach that has been taken by this nonprofit documentary film foundation, in forming strategic partnerships to artistically produce the most visually advanced high definition films that stir the soul and engage the heart. It is filmmaking with a purpose. For it is our passions, ideas and causes that are just as key as the flawless excellence of our film productions.

Mentoring emerging filmmakers to use their art in a proactive voice; engaging visionary business persons to merge business skills with art and philanthropy; spurring calculated alliances for outreach; and recruiting scientists and researchers seeking a unique connectivity of the global communities to their findings, all through the technology of high definition - those are the accomplishments of which we are most proud, are most representative of our mission and will continue to be highlighted in this section of our web site.
