Some of our films explore the modern human experience, while others pursue historical perspectives. They tackle a wide range of subjects including New York saloonkeeper Toots Shor, the modern labor movement, violence against women, HIV & AIDS, and the extreme sport of BASE Jumping. Through all of our work, Catalyst Films is dedicated to creating films that excite and provoke, that are candid and sincere, entertaining and poignant.
