OUR MISSION

“There’s space in this world for a wild heart like yours” - Heidi Priebe

The mission of Emergence Films is to shift the mindset around the way women conceptualize, make, distribute and market independent media. We are a female-focused organization inspired by a vision of a more inclusive and community-driven creative practice. Our aim is to create a space where female-identifying storytellers feel safe to be themselves and share their unique, vulnerable voices.

The Emerging Filmmakers program is a practical, mission-driven incubator, designed to support early-career, female-identifying filmmakers with the tools, education, and opportunities they need to build sustainable creative careers. Through our holistic support and growth model, we are nurturing the next generation of storytellers by offering them essential education, mentorship, paid apprenticeships, bespoke fundraising guidance, marketing and distribution strategy, and non-recoupable cash grants to fund both a short film and a microbudget feature.
