Cultivating a Global Creative Network

Access to Funding

EXNW's programming is purposefully structured to bridge connections between creators and investors seeking cutting-edge opportunities to shape the future narrative of film, content, television, gaming and animation.

Community

Arrive as individuals; depart as a collective! Cultivate bonds with fellow visionaries to collaboratively influence the trajectory of film and television storytelling. Shifting to an abundance mindset requires active collaboration.

Professional Development

Through networking with peers, mentors, and notable innovators, creators will bolster their toolkit while gaining essential knowledge about the inner workings of film, tv, streaming, gaming, and animation.

“Many of us have deep roots that grow between continents creating unique identities and stories that need to be acknowledged, elevated and celebrated. We feel at home everywhere, anywhere, and nowhere, constantly questioning - and being questioned on - what it means to belong.”

— Barbara Lee, EXNW Creator

Everywhere.
Anywhere.
Nowhere.
