The XL Film Festival and Summit aims to unite industry professionals and audiences through film showcases and panels, underscoring the significance of diverse storytelling. Founded by Troy Pryor, the festival eliminates barriers for undiscovered talent and offers support via the 'XL Lab', which funds emerging creators. With a focus on inclusivity, Creative Cypher has expanded its network, attracting industry partnerships and celebrity involvement, leading to a vibrant entertainment community. The festival emphasizes the empowerment of storytellers, celebrating authentic narratives and providing hands-on experience for future filmmakers.
The lab was designed to put grant dollars in the hands of rising storytellers.
We realized that we needed to have a showcase opportunity, and that's when we decided to expand into a film festival.
It brings us together. And other communities begin to see that and want to be a part of it.
Troy Pryor and the Creative Cypher team continue to influence the creator economy by fostering an inclusive environment that champions authenticity.
