Our Mission
“Encourage, mentor, and support filmmakers who aim to produce films that celebrate the human spirit, the value of wild spaces, and the wonder of exploration.”
Empowering Emerging Filmmakers
Film connects like no other medium. Today, anyone with a phone camera has the potential to tell an amazing story that brings us together as a human race. While it’s easier to create, it’s harder to get found. This is especially true for artists who lack access to early-career mentorship and support. Beyond Boundaries seeks emerging artists and eliminates barriers between the artist and their audience. We look for those stories that might vanish without our support. We know from experience that emerging filmmakers have unimaginable stories to share, and feel it’s our job to find these people and make sure they get a fair shot.
Bringing stories that matter to the forefront
Beyond Boundaries Films amplifies narratives that challenge and inspire. We believe in stories that force us to confront difficult truths and sometimes even squirm in our seats. While any population can be the victim of environmental injustice, we see a lot more stories like this coming from communities on the margins—from places most of us might have never even heard of. A big part of what we’re looking for is a chance to boost films about problems that might benefit from the spotlight of public awareness.
