Hello Friend develops and produces content to spark change.

After reflecting on the relationship between art and activism, co-founders Lauren Heimer and Mia Weier decided to combine their substantial experience in film development, business, and law to create a media company dedicated to social impact. Hello Friend specializes in ambitious projects — across media, scripted and unscripted — that challenge artists and audiences alike to grapple with today's urgent social questions. By illuminating the profound drama, empathetic characters, and universal themes presented by these issues, each Hello Friend project harnesses the power of entertainment to ignite critical conversation.
