NEW YORK
FILM & TELEVISION FOR

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

About 

New York Film & Television for Diversity & Inclusion (NYFTDI) is a grassroots coalition of Film and TV professionals working to address the lack of diversity and inclusion of Black, Indigenous and People of Color in the film and television industry in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut area. Through mentorship programs, educational opportunities, and community outreach collaborations, NYFTDI works to build bridges between BIPOC crew and encourage  new and existing opportunities in Film and TV. By focusing on BIPOC, we create pathways for equity and economic empowerment for all marginalized groups. 

MENTORSHIP

Our mentorship program is focused on creating sustainable pathways for upward-mobility by connecting new and experienced industry professionals. It runs twice yearly and opens doors for conversation, industry encouragement and support as well as the potential for job opportunities. 

RESOURCES

Explore a list of resources that include community programs, BIPOC initiatives, educational opportunities and crew hiring resources to support any production or individual on their journey to a more diverse work experience.
