Overview
Mission
We are a non-profit dedicated to promoting the advancement of LGBTQ+ people, other marginalized groups, and the film community as an independent film company. We strive to make films and celebrate cinematic works that are culturally diverse, socially conscious and spiritually positive. We exist because our society at large provides little in the way of resources for LGBTQ+ people, other marginalized groups and independent filmmakers to tell their stories through film. And we exist because we believe that telling these stories can help alleviate the hatred, intolerance, and bigotry so prevalent in our diverse global communities. We want to change hearts and minds - one filmgoer at a time.
What it reported doing in 2025
We continued to expand our fiscal sponsorship program, working with a diverse array of filmmakers exploring such themes as the unfair treatment of women in sports; African American men struggling to find love in the gay community; the struggles of women in the health care system; and the impact of purging trans military officers. We provided $68,263 in grants to "The Rolling Sea," a film completed in 2025 that chronicled a spiritual journey between a Korean woman and a gay man in search of her missing brother.
