Netflix executive Kelly Dalton is quitting the tape to start his own production company high-altitude production. The mission of Altitude is to inspire change and build communities around the stories they tell, and to share true, honest stories that connect with people.
“The film has had a profound impact on my own life, which is why I’ll be working on sharing stories for the past decade,” Dalton said. “It’s an honor to work in the field of talent relationships and rewards, and in the process, to learn firsthand what a powerful tool for recovery can be. In the next chapter, I want to use my experience and the relationships I’ve built to tell more stories to inspire change and build communities – and the first story I plan to tell is my own.”
The first story, a higher-level production will illustrate Dalton’s own experience of sexual abuse and find another option for the victims – restorative justice. After his own experience of limited judicial choices, he was frustrated - accusing abusive or keeping silent - Dalton challenged her attorneys another option and found restorative justice, a form of criminal justice designed to meet the needs of victims, hold offenders accountable and promote rehabilitation for all groups involved, rather than simply managing punishment. This approach emphasizes dialogue, understanding and repairing relationships, allowing individuals to recover from the effects of crime.
Dalton knew from experience that one of the hardest things about surviving rape was not the attack itself, but the long and invisible process of rebuilding life. Dalton chose the restorative justice option after struggling with 12 years of consequences and abuse trauma two years ago. The process is so meaningful that she feels she needs to share it so that others can understand this recovery option.
"The resolution is different for everyone, but I'm sharing my story so that other people who have experienced it know they're not alone and that they should recover the way they do," Dalton said.
Dalton hopes to use his journey of resilience and strength to inspire others to find their voices and regain their power. In addition to the development project, she also writes scripts.
