Since 2022, CFA has been on a mission to empower underrepresented filmmakers and actors by providing comprehensive education and community-building opportunities. Through podcasts, workshops, challenges, and festival partnerships, we’ve reached over 500,000 people, supported 700 in-person filmmakers and actors, facilitated 12 films through our first challenge, and connected creatives across 17 countries—all with the support of 21 incredible sponsors and brand partners.

This mission has been fueled by an incredible community of creatives and the support of our amazing sponsors. Together, we have grown, connected, and built something truly special.
