Where the Past Comes to Life
Our Mission
East Rock Films seeks to inspire and inform our viewers by bringing to life renowned writers, artists, their works, and their times. Our hope is to immerse the audience into great works of literature or art, creating a spark to read more. We aim to deepen their appreciation of our literary and artistic heritage --and its enduring value. Our films are in school and college curricula throughout North America. They have aired over 75 PBS television stations and have been enjoyed by millions of people.
We also run a student essay contest that offers scholarships to high school seniors who plan to study the arts, humanities, or social sciences in college.
