Quarterly Films is a culturally sensitive, socially concerned, artist-led film group of Isaac's Quarterly LLC. We provide video, media and consulting services to change agents, innovators, and artists who seek to produce media content that confronts stereotypical mainstream media misrepresentations of poverty, race, culture, group identification, and social injustices by centering the voices of th
ose people who are physically and socially impacted from the inside out. As a Certified Producer/Director Pastor Scott is committed to producing video and media content that honestly represents the true, lived narratives of stigmatized people. Pastor Isaac Scott is an independent filmmaker who understand that widespread pejorative labels and depictions of individuals impacted by the criminal justice system—in real-life and the media—dehumanize incarcerated populations. This dehumanization contributes to punitive attitudes, abusive penal policies, physical and sexual abuse of prisoners, general desensitization to such abuse and reluctance to societal reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. The role of popular media in dehumanizing people in the criminal justice system undeniably influences the general public’s pervasive negative perception of those incarcerated. This negative misperception of prisoners actually encourages the public’s willingness to legitimize or ignore prison injustices and to countenance the dehumanization of people in prison. Films is the media sponsor for:
>>The Confined Art a grassroots Arts and Advocacy Program located at The Center for Justice at Columbia University and The Center for Institutional and Social Change at Columbia Law School.
>>God's Touch Healing Ministry a Christian-based ministry that works to support the East Harlem community in the areas of spiritual empowerment and mental wellness through direct community outreach and arts engagement.
