About Ripple Effect
We invest in independent narrative features and documentaries made with artistic integrity and deep accountability to their subjects. We built Ripple Effect Fund because we believe the most exciting stories being told right now are coming from first and second-time filmmakers whose voices the industry has been too slow to resource. We bring strategic rigor and genuine conviction because for us, those two things have never been in conflict.
We work alongside Oscar-nominated producers, filmmakers who have premiered at Sundance (and won the Grand Jury Prize), Cannes, Berlinale, and Venice. We brings capital and and genuine creative partnership to each film because we believe we're buidling a long-term community of creators.
Here's something the industry doesn't talk about enough: the data is clear. Films made by and for underrepresented communities don't just matter - they outperform.
According to UCLA's Hollywood Diversity Report, films with population-representative casts consistently hit the peak for median return on investment.
A ReFrame study found that films with women and underrepresented genders in at least 50% of major roles earned nearly three times more on average — $293M versus $117M. It’s is mispriced asset class that I’m investing in.
