RISE COLLABORATIVE

Rise Collaborative is on hiatus. From 2016 to 2021, we were a news and entertainment platform. We talked to every day people from artists to small business owners, community leaders and people on the street. Buffalo can and will be better when everyone knows and understands each other. We had fun while doing it, and threw some fucking awesome parties too.

No Boundaries Magazine was a perfect bound magazine covering social and economic justice, community change makers, and arts, music, history and culture. We distributed to every neighborhood in Buffalo, every one of its suburbs for FREE.
The last edition, #8, predicted what Buffalo would look like in 2051 with the help of area non profits, professors and researchers building this world out before our creative writers produced suspenseful narratives within it. Check it out on issuu.

LIFTED by Rise Collaborative was a narrative podcast released weekly, taking a deeper look at the people behind positive change. From politicians who got their start during the Civil Rights Movement, to head brewers and blacksmiths, to refugee entrepreneurs. Listen now on YouTube.

Rise VIDEO combined general content about our communities with promotional content we develop specifically for our clients. This ain’t that shit on TV. The Rise Report premiered in 2021 and produced over 30 mini documentaries about Buffalo and Niagara Falls artists, community leaders, small business owners and hot topics around town. We took a big swing, and we will return soon. Watch the entire series on YouTube.
