Our Approach

Oriented by a representational storytelling approach, we prioritize equity on screen and behind the camera. We’re 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.

Storytelling

The majority of our slate is directed by emerging voices — filmmakers within the first three features of their careers. We’re committed to ensuring that this generation of storytellers represents the world we live in so that stories on screen truly represent the complexity of the lives we live.

Multitude tells stories that shape issues and runs productions to shape the industry. We produce, executive produce, and consult on nonfiction features, shorts, and series; and aim to offer a production pipeline that fills the gap between mentorship and the market.

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. We have built our slate around core issue areas allowing us to engage partners over time and build impact cumulatively — since individual films are never silver bullet solutions. Our slate concentrates on some of the most pressing issues of our time: from racial justice and LGBTQ dignity to Islamophobia, gender-based violence, and immigrant rights. We’re as committed to artistry as we are to impact, and we aim to leverage critical and commercial success toward social and political change.

Recognition

Our critically acclaimed films have been programmed at dozens of festivals internationally including Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, Telluride, and IDFA, and distributed by Netflix, Topic, POV, Independent Lens, and HBO Max among others. Multitude Films has been recognized with the inaugural Doc10 Vanguard Award, Sundance Institute Amazon Studios Producer Award, Doc NYC 40 Under 40 Award, Cinereach Producers Award, SIMA Vital Voices Award, among others.
