"The SmallRig Awards are for socially conscious filmmakers," says SmallRig founder Zhou Yang. "We believe that images are very powerful. They allow people, behavior, and important moments to be seen." He continues: "While we support films that call for action on global issues and aim to create positive change, our focus is more on addressing issues constructively rather than taking a critical or activist approach." As for eligibility, Zhang points out that "the award isn’t limited to films alone. It’s also open to other types of works, such as journalistic videos or even PSA videos. We hope applicants will join us in making change happen."
