In this episode of Filmmaking Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Ali, the visionary founder of Fam Cinema. His platform is more than just a streaming service—it’s a movement designed to empower marginalized voices, provide family-friendly viewing, and give filmmakers fairer opportunities to share their work. We talk about:
  • The childhood experience that inspired Dr. Ali to challenge stereotypes in film.
  • Why representation matters—and how media can heal and empower communities.
  • The values and criteria Fam Cinema uses to curate powerful, authentic films.
  • The obstacles of launching a values-driven streaming platform in today’s industry.
  • Why Fam Cinema’s pay-per-view model is a better deal for filmmakers.
  • The exciting launch of Fam Cinema’s very first global film festival, open to features, shorts, and animated projects from around the world.
This episode is for filmmakers, storytellers, and anyone who believes cinema can—and should—do more than just entertain.
