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.

Kashif respectfully acknowledges our occupation on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Munsee Lenape & Canarsie peoples as well as the stolen land that makes up the greater occupied territories of Turtle Island.
Stolen land. Stolen people.

We seek to inspire healing and foster understanding by channeling the abolitionist spirit of our ancestors.
‍
Acknowledgement alone cannot bring us into right relationship; we seek justice for all of our collective identities to be able to live within their dreams, thrive with dignity, and realize self-determination.
