Bliss Films is a trio of inventive women on a mission to make movies that empower unlikely protagonists, entice an audience to re-evaluate their preconceptions, and tell one heck of an entertaining story. What does all that mean? Well besides being a good instagram bio, it is our manifesto.
We are filmmakers, passionate about telling impactful and moving stories. And while we are captivated by the storytelling part, we sure know there’s much more to making movies than writing them. We’re constantly building our team, bringing more and more young, diverse filmmakers into our fold to collaborate and tell meaningful stories. We strive to be a production company for the next generation of great creators.
More about usSince our inception in 2019, we’ve successfully funded four award-winning short films through grants and crowdfunding, crafted unique music videos, created internationally recognized fashion videos and collaborated on numerous projects. These projects highlight our scope as filmmakers, and we plan to use them not just to hone our craft, but to transcend the expectations of film industry gatekeepers and exemplify our potential to be serious creators.
