Smartypants Pictures is here to celebrate the diversity of these game changers, positive contributors big and small to a single overarching story – one that connects all of us. By approaching movies, documentaries, commercials, radio, and web series with a conscious eye, Smartypants believes that the extraordinary can be found in the everyday, and that meaningful stories are everywhere.
