INOCENTE
Shining a Light on Homelessness
Naomi developed a winning Academy Award campaign for Inocente, a short documentary that tells the inspiring story of a homeless Latino teenage artist and her triumph over the bleak circumstances that life dealt her. It was an opportunity to shine a light on challenges surrounding immigration and homelessness and to spur legislators, public agencies and nonprofits to provide stronger support networks for some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
Together with Shine Global, the production company, Naomi developed a social action campaign to highlight the challenges facing children like Inocente, partnering with policymakers and influencers to expand the film’s reach and organizing a briefing and screening on Capitol Hill. After garnering rave reviews, Inocente won the 2013 Oscar for Best Documentary Short. And Inocente’s story was told on the pages of publications including The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Huffington Post and Teen Vogue.
