Everyone deserves a voice

We believe storytelling should be available to everyone, everywhere.

Our goal is to increase the universe of diverse storytelling by providing access to industry knowledge, professional leaders and reduce the barriers impeding the development of creatives in areas where filmmaking is not a staple industry. Unfortunately, there are not many places in the United States consistently involved in the movie making business and this limits the ability for new storytellers to emerge.

Where Movies are made today: 

  •  ATLANTA 
  •  NEW ORLEANS 
  •  SEATTLE 
  •  CHICAGO
  •  LOS ANGELES 
  •  NEW YORK CITY
  •  MIAMI 
  •  MINNEAPOLIS
  •  ALBUQUERQUE
