About Us

We are a multi-generational team of entertainment, education and workplace experts building the learning we all wish we had - and we do it with a purpose. Film Forward is built around the work of the most exciting up and coming filmmakers around the world, and every subscription we sell puts money into their pockets.

With five generations working side by side for the first time in history, we need a new set of skills and frameworks that can accelerate the rate of growth and innovation in an organization, as well as increase employee satisfaction and retention. Film Forward combines the experiential impact of the world’s best cinema with cutting edge curricula to build the skills we need in 2025 and beyond.
