FBI PRODUCTIONS

This is a company with a single belief. We believe that nothing you may do, or build, or imagine will be of consequence to anyone
else if it is not set off and communicated in the appropriate light. That is the weight we place upon what we do. The slightest of
nuances can effect the greatest of differences – we have seen this first hand; it is what we do. It is the difference effected in the man
who inquires of the activity of two stone cutters on the side of the road, and learns from one that he is cutting stone, and from the
other, that he is building a church. The triumph of modern media is its ability to contextualize, to attach disparate images and
sounds, and thereby create new meanings.
The world continually re-invents itself through variously reconfiguring its past, as contemporary visionaries abstractly align themselves
with the literal or visual artifices of a former age.

TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL

The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff as a response to the attacks on
the World Trade Center. Conceived to foster the economic and cultural revitalization of Lower Manhattan through an annual
celebration of film, music and culture, the Festival’s mission is to promote New York City as a major filmmaking center and allow its
filmmakers to reach the broadest possible audience. By upholding a belief in the artistic process as a means to tell the stories of
loss and redemption, fear and prosperity, chaos and revolution with the spirit of independent film at the helm, the Tribeca Film
Festival has succeeded in re-writing the story of Lower Manhattan. Since the inaugural festival, Lower Manhattan, once covered in
rubble and shrouded in loss, has become a thriving cultural and economic center.

MAISHA LAB

MAISHA (meaning “life” in Kiswahili) provides new screenwriters and film directors from East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and
Rwanda) and South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) with access to the professional training and production
resources necessary to articulate their visions. Maisha aims to preserve, cultivate and unleash local voices from these regions, and to
become one of the first targeted programs to offer structured and accessible resources to these emerging filmmakers. MAISHA is
motivated by the belief that a film which explores the truths and idiosyncrasies of the specifically local often has the power to cross
over and become significantly universal.

filmmakers.
