About Statement Films

Statement Films was founded with two primary goals in mind - to develop, produce, and finance content for films and television created, written, and directed by African and diaspora women, and to create an inclusive community and global sphere of influence around African and diaspora women creatives.

Founder and CEO Areej Noor and her team aim to develop a framework through which African and diaspora women filmmakers and content creators can thrive by providing the tools and access necessary to bring their work to fruition, positioning them for global success. They believe in the immense, untapped potential and global appeal of African content and hope to elevate such stories for years to come.

Statement Films has offices in Nairobi, Cairo, New York and Los Angeles.
