The Independent FIlmmakers Coalition of Kansas CIty is committed to fostering a film community where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are embraced as core values; with belonging representing the ultimate goal of our DEI efforts. We aim to empower underrepresented voices by providing accessible resources, creating opportunities, and cultivating an environment that celebrates people of all ages, (dis)/abilities, ethnic origins, gender identities, nationalities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic statuses. Together, we strive to inspire meaningful storytelling that reflects the richness of our shared humanity, and diverse community.
