About Us

Film Lab

The Film Lab(TM) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization devoted to the promotion and support of gender and racial parity in film and television programming. Through our public programming, 72 Hour Shootout filmmaking competition and in-house entertainment production arm, AAFL-TV, we ensure that stories and voices too often silenced in mainstream media are heard, not just as whispers, but as shouts to the world.
