Soft Cage Films mission is to engage the public through the production and promotion of socially relevant films that use experimental techniques to challenge traditional notions of society and to explore psychological truths.

Soft Cage produces narrative and documentary films that engage with critical social justice issues such as mass incarceration, racism, activism, trauma, violence, and labor. We also engage aspiring youth filmmakers through our children's filmmaking classes.
