About FFC

The Future Film Coalition (FFC) unites independent film professionals and organizations to build collective power and shape strategies that ensure U.S. independent filmmaking flourishes alongside the broader entertainment industry. Together, we champion field-wide efforts to secure visibility, resources, and public policy protections that will fortify the independent ecosystem and ensure audiences benefit from a diverse and thriving cultural landscape for generations to come.

We envision a transformed film and media landscape where:

Independent creators and small businesses thrive as essential cultural and economic drivers.
Public policy fosters entrepreneurship, supports small businesses, and fair industry competition.
Diverse films and media connect communities, strengthen democracy, and expand cultural dialogue.
Collective action and solidarity ensure independent voices are not only sustained, but amplified for generations to come.

Core Values

Collective Power: Unite independent film professionals and organizations across sectors to amplify our shared influence and ensure a stronger voice within the larger film industry.
Balance: Work toward a film ecosystem where independent and commercial sectors coexist in dynamic balance—with visibility, resources, and public policy protections for the independent sector.
Transparency & Accountability: Operate with openness, clarity, and integrity in research, advocacy, and governance, ensuring the coalition reflects and serves the field as a whole.
Innovation: Harness bold ideas, forward-looking strategies, and cross-sector collaboration to reimagine how independent film can flourish in an evolving marketplace.
Public Good: Promote durable policies and solutions that outlast shifting politics and deliver broad benefits to creators, audiences, and society at-large.
Sustainability: Strengthen the conditions for independent filmmakers, cultural workers, organizations, and small businesses to thrive over the long term, ensuring resilience within the broader media landscape.
