For Erika Alexander and Ben Arnon, storytelling isn’t just about entertainment, it’s about creating change. As the founders of Color Farm Media , their mission is to amplify underrepresented voices in film and television. Since launching Color Farm in 2017, the duo has been making waves by producing impactful content and breaking down barriers for creators of all backgrounds. Now, through their sponsorship of Final Draft’s Big Break Screenwriting Competition , they’re taking that mission to the next level by mentoring the next generation of diverse storytellers.

Color Farm is partnering with WeScreenplay to bolster opportunities for underrepresented voices and marginalized people.

Color Farm Impact, the non-profit arm of the eponymous production company that Erika Alexander founded with Ben Arnon, is working with WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Screenwriting Lab on the program.
