We extend a warm invitation to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) creators, inviting you to bring your unique stories into the spotlight. Our commitment is rooted in a dedication to fostering inclusivity, representation, and diverse storytelling.


BIPOC creators bring a wealth of cultural knowledge, traditions, and histories to their work. By embracing this diversity, we can be part of a broader industry transformation hosting narratives that reflect the complexity and beauty of the global human experience. Authentic storytelling not only resonates with diverse audiences but also contributes to breaking stereotypes and promoting understanding.



In essence, our collaboration with BIPOC creators is not just a commitment; it's a celebration of the rich tapestry of humanity and a pledge to contribute to a more inclusive and representative film industry.
