Some Doors Open When You Start Walking Toward Them

One of the questions we hear most from our community is: How do you land distribution without connections?

The truth? You don’t wait for permission —you just start.

This month's issue of Inside the Framework | Vol. 4, Ciara Ingram shares how she got her first film distributed with no agent, no budget, and no industry plug —just a story worth telling.

Tap in for the full story, a practical framework, and a reminder that the right eyes will find your work.

No Industry Connections. No Funding. Just a Story Worth Telling.

This Tuesday, June 3rd we’re honored to be showing two pieces of work in ’s Visions of New York photo exhibition, and we’d love to see you there!

There was a little mix-up in the original post (IYKYK 😅), but we’re officially set for the 3rd, not the 2nd so we hope you can still pull up and join us.

One photo is from 2016, when our founder first started documenting basketball culture across NYC with just a camera and a deep love for the game. The second is from 2020, when the early seeds for , our first feature-length documentary, were planted. That project is now gearing up to begin filming in Fall 2025.

We’re excited to reflect on where we started and celebrate what’s still in development. 🏀🧡

Big thank you to for creating space to share our work with the community. ♥️🙏🏽

Yeah, being online is cool, but showing up in real life still hits differently.

Vol. 3 of Inside the Framework just dropped, and this month’s theme is all about the power of simply showing up.

From PlayersTV's NewFronts to panels for content creators and managers at TikTok HQ, every move started the same way: by being in the room.

In this issue:
— How presence = progress
— NYC creator conference insights (props to Brett Dashevsky + Creator Economy NYC x Teachable )
— Emerging creators & artists who show up with purpose
— Sneak peek at the progress we’re making with our feature-length documentary She Hoops Too 👀

→ Creator Economy NYC: Talking Creator Tools (April 15)
