About the Collaboration

BGB Media invites submissions from LGBTQ+ filmmakers with completed or near-complete work for inclusion in our curated archive and distribution programme. We prioritise films from marginalised and under-represented communities, with particular interest in African, Caribbean, Afro-Latino, Asian, and diaspora perspectives.

This is a project-based, non-salaried collaboration, not employment. Selected films are distributed under a transparent agreement that includes:

• Revenue participation
• Full copyright retained by the filmmaker
• Non-exclusive or exclusive terms discussed individually, depending on existing distribution

Why Submit to BGB Media

Many LGBTQ+ films complete a festival run without securing long-term distribution or contextual care. BGB Media focuses on sustained visibility rather than one-off screenings, pairing films with editorial framing and an international audience actively seeking overlooked queer cinema.

What We Are Looking For

We welcome submissions of:

• Short films and feature-length documentaries
• Work centred on LGBTQ+ lives, with attention to place, culture, and specificity
• Films with a clear authorial voice
• Projects that are completed or close to completion
• Work where the filmmaker holds the rights or is authorised to represent them

This Programme Is Best Suited For

• Films that have completed a festival run or received limited exposure
• Projects seeking ongoing visibility rather than a single screening
• Filmmakers interested in audience development alongside revenue participation
