About Narrative Now

Narrative Now is an independent incubator for film, theater, and performing arts projects that amplify essential stories, challenge perspectives, and inspire social change.

Our Story

Narrative Now was founded in 2022 by a collective of filmmakers, theater directors, and arts producers who recognized a critical gap in the creative landscape: while many powerful stories existed, too few had access to the resources, expertise, and platforms needed to reach audiences.

Our core philosophy is guided by the belief that the most vital stories often exist at the margins, and bringing these narratives to stage and screen isn't just about artistic expression—it's about expanding our collective understanding of human experience.

Our Mission

To identify, develop, and produce film, theater, and performing arts projects that amplify essential stories, foster artistic innovation, and inspire social change.

Our Vision

A cultural landscape where diverse, challenging, and transformative narratives have the resources they need to thrive—creating a more nuanced, empathetic, and just society through the power of artistic storytelling.

Our Values

Artistic Excellence: We uphold the highest standards of creative quality and innovation in every project we support.

Independence: We champion creative visions that challenge conventions and resist commercial pressures that might dilute their impact.

Authenticity: We value stories told with integrity, honesty, and a deep connection to lived experience.

Risk-Taking: We embrace bold artistic choices and challenging subject matter that mainstream institutions might avoid.

Impact: We prioritize projects with the potential to shift perspectives, spark dialogue, and inspire action beyond the theater or screening room.
