Our Impact

“The writing process bestowed upon me a new found lens of healing and acceptance, transforming how I view each of my siblings.”

Sharmin Prince, 2023 WDS Participant

“This is the first time I worked with actors and a whole crew. They’re very supportive and everybody has each other’s back. The whole environment was very welcoming and I can tell this is a space for love”

Paul Bensten, TBI 2022 Participant

First Match

Powering equitable prosperity in filmmaking

We know Hollywood leaves billions on the table by not developing, producing, and distributing content by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, gender non-conforming, and disabled filmmakers on a consistent, non-performative basis. By championing these voices we can maximize revenue left on the table that we can then equitably distribute to all project participants. We are currently working to model a film fund that is sustainable and fair and acknowledges everyone for their work.

“Barriers exist at all stages from development to financing, marketing, and distribution, and represent a $10 Billion loss in annual revenue to the film & television industry.”

Kashif respectfully acknowledges our occupation on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Munsee Lenape & Canarsie peoples as well as the stolen land that makes up the greater occupied territories of Turtle Island.
Stolen land. Stolen people.

We seek to inspire healing and foster understanding by channeling the abolitionist spirit of our ancestors.

Acknowledgement alone cannot bring us into right relationship; we seek justice for all of our collective identities to be able to live within their dreams, thrive with dignity, and realize self-determination.
