Mission

The mission of the Lionhearts Foundation is to build empathy by funding stories that educate, entertain, and inspire. They provide vital support to storytellers who are creating content that promotes kindness and courage for people who are traditionally overlooked and underserved.

Supported Impact Ventures and Initiatives

In furtherance of its mission, Lionhearts Foundation supports:

Sound Unseen Austin

Sound Unseen Austin is the film festival for music fans, championing music-driven cinema and the communities that shape it. The festival curates bold documentaries, narrative films, and shorts where music is not background, but the story itself.

Through carefully crafted screenings, filmmaker conversations, and select live experiences, Sound Unseen Austin creates shared spaces where filmmakers, musicians, and audiences connect.

Originally founded in Minneapolis in 1999, Sound Unseen established itself as a premier niche festival at the intersection of film and music. The Austin edition builds on that legacy while embracing the city’s deep musical roots and creative culture.

OUT with Fiona

Within a climate of adversity, OUT WITH FIONA follows Emmy-nominated and award-winning filmmaker Fiona Dawson as she journeys to uncover positive stories of kindness and courage from the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

While people broadly support LGBTQ rights and oppose discrimination, coming out as LGBTQIA2S+ still ignites confusion and contention within families. Bisexual and acclaimed filmmaker Fiona Dawson journeys to reveal that under the conflicted surface, people are way more united than they know.

Free Lion Productions

Free Lion Productions creates multimedia personal storytelling content using video and animation to build empathy. Their foundation, Fiona Dawson, is an acclaimed speaker and DEIBA consultant with an expertise in LGBTQIA2S+ inclusion. Free Lion Productions is on a mission to decolonize the worldview of gender and sexuality.
