This program is an inclusive program offered to underrepresented communities including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Women, Non-Binary/ Gender Queer, Veterans, and people living with disabilities in the entertainment and content production industries.

Not at this time, however, membership will serve as a global symbol for our FTW partners to provide more business opportunities and win contracts.

Membership in the program is valid for one calendar year.

As a company, you are allowed to apply for the program once every calendar year. If you apply for an appeal and are still denied, you must wait one calendar to reapply. Should your business ownership status change, you may reapply.
