When we come together with shared purpose, we plant seeds. When we work together, we all share the harvest. No one goes hungry.

FilAm Creative (FAC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has served the community since 2010. 

We champion important goals:

  • Empowering people – helping Filipino-Americans succeed in all areas of the entertainment industry.

  • Elevating stories – supporting and showcasing projects about the Filipino and Filipino-American experience, created by storytellers of any background.

FAC has connected artists, industry leaders, and audiences through year-round programs, networking, and the annual FilAm Creative Film Festival. FAC aims to encourage and create leaders who share our vision.  From horror films to comedies to documentaries to music videos to commercials, from Hollywood to the indie scene, our community is where careers grow and stories shine.
