A Home for
Muslim Creatives

Launching a searchable industry platform that helps Muslim filmmakers and storytellers find collaborators, talent, and new professional opportunities.

Overview

Pillars Fund created the Muslim Artist Database in partnership with The Walt Disney Company to connect emerging and established Muslim professionals across the filmmaking and storytelling industries.

The platform enables actors, directors, cinematographers, technicians, and other above and below-the-line creatives to create profiles, discover collaborators, and expand their networks.

The launch translated a community-building vision into an accessible digital product designed to increase visibility and opportunity across the entertainment ecosystem.
