OUR MISSION
FilAm Creative, Inc. (a) educates and advocates for the Filipino-American entertainment community and all people regardless of ethnicity who are looking for a collaborative workspace in order to achieve greater representation and career advancement; and (b) helps to amplify stories about the Filipino-American experience by Filipino-Americans and by storytellers of any ethnicity.
OUR VISION
A thriving, inclusive entertainment industry where Filipino-American creatives have equal opportunity to succeed, and where stories about the Filipino and Filipino-American experience are valued, visible, and celebrated worldwide.
OUR STRATEGY: FOUR CORE FUNCTIONS
1) Unify – Bring together all who support our mission and vision into one organization; allied talent, sponsors, and audiences into one connected community.
2) Educate – Equip creatives with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to advance their careers and bring their projects to life.
3) Create – Foster collaboration on creating works.
4) Elevate – Showcase our talented members and the stories to industry decision-makers and audiences everywhere.
INCLUSION
FilAm Creative is firmly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. While our mission focuses on elevating Filipino and Filipino-American voices, our programs, events, and submissions are open to all regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or background.
Our festival selections and awards are inclusive and based on merit, impact, and alignment with our values. We believe that increasing representation—both in who creates and in the stories told—enriches the entire entertainment industry.
