Films

[edit]

The firm produced the award-winning 2003 animated short film, The Meatrix, an animal-rights parody of the 1999 film The Matrix. It and its two short 2006 sequels, The Meatrix II: Revolting and The Meatrix II 1/2, were set in factory farms and a slaughterhouse and were commissioned projects for the GRACE Communications Foundation.[1]

Books

[edit]

In July 2012, Free Range founder Jonah Sachs published his first book with Harvard Business Review Press, Winning the Story Wars: Why Those Who Tell -- and Live -- the Best Stories Will Rule the Future.[2] In Winning the Story Wars, Sachs argues that brands that tell value-driven stories can truly revolutionize marketing.[3] In 2018, Sachs released his second book, Unsafe Thinking, which explains "how to be nimble and bold when you need it most".[4]
