Issues We
Champion.
The Future Film Coalition advocates on the policy issues that shape the future of independent film in America.
← HomeMedia Consolidation
Fighting unchecked mergers and acquisitions that threaten independent voices and reduce competition in the entertainment industry. Mega-mergers concentrate power in the hands of a few corporations, leaving independent filmmakers without distribution partners, and audiences without diverse storytelling.
Production Incentives
Advocating for tax credits and grant programs that support independent productions across all 50 states. Strong state-level incentives create local jobs, generate economic activity, and enable filmmakers to tell stories rooted in their communities — without relocating to a handful of production hubs.
Fair Competition
Promoting antitrust enforcement and policies that level the playing field for independent creators and distributors. Platform algorithms, exclusive licensing deals, and vertical integration have tilted the market. FFC pushes for rules that ensure independent film can compete fairly.
Visibility & Access
Ensuring independent films reach audiences through equitable distribution channels and public media investment. Discoverability on streaming platforms, support for independent theaters, and robust public media funding are critical to a healthy independent film ecosystem.
