Muslims in the United States offer cultural richness and an abundance of talent. These unique, multidimensional experiences, however, are rarely reflected in the stories we see on screen and in the media. Sourcing diverse talent is a crucial part of moving the film industry into a future that better reflects the demographics and experiences of our present.
The Pillars Muslim Artist Database connects working professionals and emerging creators looking for their next collaborators in the U.S., supporting Muslim artists and helping bring more Muslim creators into the filmmaking process.

The database aims to give Muslim actors, directors, cinematographers, sound technicians and others, who could help create more nuanced portrayals, the chance to compose online profiles that can be reviewed by those hiring for film, television and streaming productions. It was really meant to be a resource for studios, for the film industry.
