Peer Empowered Producer (PEP) Fund
Special Initiative announced at the 2024 WIP Holiday Soiree.
Excerpt from Sundance Producers Keynote Address
​
"When I first started producing, it took me years to introduce myself as a producer without fumbling. I wasn’t sure back then that I deserved that title. Twenty-something years into this game, I know in my bones, in my heart, and in my gut what it is to be a producer. Producing is an identity, a tribe, an act of community and an artistic practice that encompasses more than can be communicated. It is the highest compliment. A producer is someone who makes the impossible possible. A producer solves problems AND creates problems, good problems. A producer questions why things are the way they are. We are independent producers because we subvert and we complicate the status quo with the intention of forwarding new thoughts, ideas, voices and stories. Our culture, our communities, and our industry depend on us to do this."
