the greatest challenge to progress is often lack of access.

We are solving this with our partners Kickstarter, Shure, Definition Theater, Camera Ambassador, Kayquarii Productions, and OBE Studios.

Kickstarter X CREATIVE CYPHER SCALE the XL content Lab

For the past 16 years, Kickstarter has been a critical resource for independent filmmaking, helping creators like Chloé Zhao, Matthew A. Cherry, Issa Rae, Andrew Ahn, Blitz Bazawule, and Karyn Parsons bring their projects to life on their own terms. Its legacy of filmmaker support continues today with new efforts that include a recently-announced strategic partnership with Tubi aimed at helping independent projects get access to funding and guaranteed distribution.

Our Success

The XLerator “XL Lab” has successfully launched five cycles and now expanded to year-around. We are here to empower rising creators and ensure their stories are told!

Our community partners provide in-kind support and extend exclusive rates on additional creative consultation services.
