"Erin is, above all, a powerful connector of people and ideas, who has spent a lifetime building deep and meaningful strategic partnerships between funders, filmmakers and advocates connected to social justice issues and the center of documentaries."

"Erin is like the godmother of documentary impact. You'd be hard-pressed to meet an impact practitioner around the world that hasn't been trained, mentored, or inspired by her. Erin takes an intersectional approach to this work, often bringing together activists, organizations, and protagonists that have never worked together before. She is a creative thinker, always coming up with new ways to engage communities with the stories we tell on film. She has many admirers in our field!"

"Our impact campaign for JACINTA wouldn't have been possible without Third Stage. Erin is so passionate about what she does and is very innovative in her approach to building partnerships and finding ways to use a film for positive change."

Erin and Third Stage Consulting helped establish and professionalize the field of impact production. Whenever asked to support one of their campaigns, we jump at the chance as there is never any doubt the work will be relationship-based from start to finish. From the people and communities they gather to the partnerships they forge, Third Stage digs deep with each project. Their impact work is never a cookie-cutter model but tailored to the unique goals and priorities of the story. I know I am not alone in looking to Erin as a mentor and leader in the impact space.
