Statement Films is a Los Angeles, CA-based data-driven entertainment startup founded by writer, producer and political analyst Areej Noor. The company sources, develops and presents a pipeline of African-women-led intellectual property to international buyers, aiming to bridge African and Diaspora women filmmakers with the global market. Its core activities include sourcing and developing IP and operating a production arm focused on building a pipeline for female filmmakers on the continent and in the diaspora. Statement Films intends to scale its current offering into a media and insights business that increases the visibility of the African Creative Class. The production arm will remain focused on pipeline development while the wider business expands into media and insights. In September 2023 the company raised USD750K in funding to support that scaling.
