What Is Our Mission ?
Philadelphia Film Factory (Philm Factory) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing local independent filmmakers, residents, youth, and creatives with educational, economic, and professional opportunities in film, entertainment, and media. Our mission is to equip participants with the skills, experience, and exposure needed to succeed in these industries. We are deeply committed to supporting underserved and underrepresented communities, particularly marginalized groups who face barriers to entry in the film and media industries. At Philm Factory, we ensure equitable access to resources, knowledge, and opportunities. We strive to create an inclusive environment.
Our programs include professional development classes, workshops, events, and productions, offering participants hands-on training and valuable networking opportunities. Through these experiences, we provide access to industry professionals and practical experience that helps individuals navigate and succeed in the film and entertainment fields. Philm Factory also works to strengthen Philadelphia’s film industry, culture, and economy by creating opportunities. We actively collaborate with local businesses to foster growth in the city’s creative economy. Ultimately, our goal is to build a sustainable, inclusive ecosystem for film production and media arts in Philadelphia.
