Founded by Eugene Sun Park and Jason Matsumoto, the organization supports the work of women, people of color, disabled, and LGBTQ+ filmmakers and communities.[1][2]
Since its inception in 2015, FSF has produced over 40 films. The organization's first feature film production, Signature Move (co-starring Indian acting icon Shabana Azmi), premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in 2017.
