Programs
Front Row
Front Row provides organizations with tailored access to our UnLonely Film Festival. These curated content suites allow a customized approach to creating awareness of loneliness and isolation, reducing the associated stigma, and promoting creative expression as a powerful form of communication and social connection.
Each participating organization maintains access to a co-branded online theater platform that includes customized landing page content, orientation and trailer videos, and film series from the UnLonely Film Festival. Each film is hosted on its own page where visitors can view the it and accompanying reflection videos, participate in an active creative exercise related to the film, and interact with others through comment discussions about the film.

Components
Founded upon a research-based methodology, these sessions are carefully tailored to a variety of populations – from older adults to college students – to create unique experiences that address participants’ specific needs and align with partner organizations’ goals. All of our programs are structured around three key components:Â
Creative Expression
Interactive art programs provide positive physiological and psychological health benefits by fostering a deeper connection with oneself and others.
Mindfulness
We use a variety of high-impact activities to help individuals better manage stress and develop pro-health routines.
Social-Emotional learning
We rely on group discussion and self-reflection to help participants foster a stronger sense of connection to themselves and others.Â
