Introducing FREE THE WORK

What’s up, Medium universe? We are FREE THE WORK, a nonprofit global initiative and talent discovery platform for underrepresented creators.

Here, we’ll be sharing our treasure trove of creator resources, interviews with some of today’s most respected filmmakers, FTW podcast episodes, virtual event recaps, playlists of talent on our database to discover, platform updates and best practices, and so, so much more (that you can also find on freethework.com/culture).

So keep it locked here. Follow us. Share it with your friends. And if you’re an underrepresented creator, hit up freethework.com and hit “Get Started” to apply.

For more on us, check out this super official boilerplate below:

FREE THE WORK is a non-profit organization committed to eliminating the lack of diversity in media and creating opportunities for a global workforce of underrepresented creators behind the lens in TV, film, and marketing. Our organization strives to be the most innovative, effective, and action-driven resource possible until industry-wide equality becomes a reality. We accomplish this goal through our FREE THE WORK pledge, global talent database, community, DEI guidance, impact & insights reporting, and educational tools that help creators to demystify the media industries. FREE THE WORK exists to empower a creative revolution, led by the world’s underrepresented creators.

All that said, dear the curious and the creatives out there, we got you and can’t wait to connect and share with you.

Oh, and here’s a little teaser of our content: our FREE THE WORK Playlist Directory.
