Feeding the World
SILO reflects back to rural communities and audiences outside of agriculture the emotional, physical and psychological costs of feeding the world. We consider every screening of SILO as an opportunity to entertain and educate audiences, while preventing future tragedies. We hope to positively impact all agricultural communities and the people dependent on them.
Building Community
SILO’s unique distribution strategy, the SILO Community Screening Campaign, breaks the trend of isolation in our modern world, bringing audiences together to experience stories side-by-side. Farmers, nonprofits, community organizers, rescue workers, food producers and consumers are invited to work with the SILO team to create meaningful, impactful, community-fortifying events.

Safety
As the first feature film about a grain entrapment SILO is grateful to be part of a profound agricultural movement focused on farm safety and mental health. From the outset of the film’s creation the SILO filmmaking team has sought expert advice from leaders in agriculture and fire rescue, ensuring that the SILO story is true-to-life.
With the help of the Grain Handling Safety Coalition, every screening is accompanied by the SILO Community Discussion Guide, which brings audiences together after every screening to discuss safety-related issues and other important themes in the film.

Partnerships
Partnerships with FFA chapters, farm bureaus, universities, agricultural nonprofits and corporations help bring SILO and its message about farm safety to thousands who wouldn’t otherwise have access to independent film. We are grateful to The Grain Handling Safety Coalition, Sukup Manufacturing, Turtle Plastics, Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Bardstown Fire Department, Clear Lake Fire Department, and hundreds of local community organizers who have made SILO’s impact a reality.
