Multitude Films is a queer- and women-led independent production company dedicated to telling nonfiction stories by and about historically excluded and underrepresented communities.

Our Approach

Oriented by a culture change approach, we make award-winning films that change the way global audiences see the world around them. We produce, executive produce, and consult on nonfiction features, shorts, and series with a focus on equity and representation both on screen and behind the camera.

Recognition

Our critically-acclaimed films have been distributed by Netflix, HBO, POV, and The Criterion Channel and showcased at Sundance, Hot Docs, SXSW, and IDFA, among other festivals. Our work is multiple Emmy Award-winning, Peabody-nominated, and Academy Award-shortlisted; and our producers have been recognized by the Sundance Institute Amazon Studios Producer Award, DOC NYC 40 Under 40, Cinereach Producers Award, SIMA Vital Voices Award, and more. Our films and writing have been featured in The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and The New York Times, and more.

Impact Strategy

We’re one of few production companies that integrates a social change orientation and impact strategy from the earliest stages of our involvement in a project. Our slate is built around core issue areas, allowing us to engage communities and movements over time and build impact cumulatively – since individual films are never silver bullet solutions.

Productions

Multitude Films is a full-service production company that combines production services with tailored creative producing and ongoing political education. We are committed to care at every stage of our work and aim to shift norms across our industry — with a vision of a film industry that values and rewards projects directed and crewed by teams of color, LGBTQ filmmakers, filmmakers with disabilities, working class filmmakers, and women. 

Authorship

Multitude Films is also committed to responsible authorship, where the core creative team behind a film has a stake in the communities that will be most impacted by the story. That’s why the majority of our slate is directed by emerging voices – filmmakers within the first three features of their career. We’re also invested in mentoring the next generation of independent producers through our Producer Apprenticeship program.

Producer Apprenticeship Program

Our below-the-line team of Associate Producers and Production Coordinators have clear paths of advancement to lead producing—from ongoing masterclasses on a range of skills and topics as they relate to our films to a workplace culture of peer mentorship, knowledge sharing, and intimate access to production company operations. These producer apprentices work across several films on our slate and gain experience in a range of storytelling approaches, varied directing styles, and strategic and ethical questions posed by the filmmaking process.
