Bridge Entertainment Labs (BEL) operates through three pillars: Convening, Consulting, and Creating. Our work elevates virtues like open-mindedness, curiosity, humility, love, generosity, gratitude, and forgiveness—the foundation for a pluralistic society.
Our project will direct funds to our Convening and Convening Follow-up work. Building on our “Creating New Stories of Us” model, BEL will host influencer salons and senior-level convenings with creatives, talent, and executives. These gatherings will highlight stories exploring shared humanity and call for greater open-mindedness, curiosity, and humility. After the convening, the project will deepen opportunities with storytellers and studios by consulting on virtues-related issues that come up at the events. This work enriches stories with JTF/BEL virtues and activates allies for public engagement.
These pillars create a virtuous cycle: Convenings source stories and allies, who invite follow-up work. That follow-up integrates virtues and evangelizes mission-aligned stories—impacting audiences and creatives for years to come.
