Our Mission

Nicole Conn Films Global was created in response to the deterioration of film festivals and our LGBTQ+ stories becoming token in the mainstream. Our mission is to keep growing our library by an old adage that’s even more true today — we are Stronger Together. Together we create content FOR us, BY us, and now for ALL OF YOU.

This is more than a site — it’s a community. Members are family in the truest sense. We host bi-monthly Zoom chats to keep everyone close to the projects and to involve members in the creative work they want to pursue.
