Where Radical Access + Potential Meet

To all filmmakers and artists who want to tell your stories, you don't have to go it alone...

here at Kashif, there are no starving, struggling, tortured artists; only resourced, thriving, communal artists

If you're ready to tell your story, in your way, we are here to meet you in this moment. We are rising above the limits of our own imaginations

We are here
We are Ready
We are Kashif

Welcome Home

In Community

Kashif designs original pathways into filmmaking through a practice in equity access which dismantles historic barriers placed on storytellers and fosters new approaches driven by inclusivity and co-creation. We are artists and activists focused on incubating stories with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, gender non-conforming, veteran, disabled filmmakers, and their allies.


Where Storytellers Belong

You’re invited to join a community nurturing the next (r)evolution of fiction & non-fiction filmmakers. Discover ways to get involved with The Brownsville Initiative, Writing Dope Shorts, and Writing Sanctuary.
