Kindred Kapwa Productions crafts stories and creates harmony using film, new media and online courses.

Our mission is producing BIPOC focused stories in traditional and new mediums that empower BIPOC and promote diversity. 

“Kapwa” is a Filipino cultural concept of interconnectedness whereby other people are not “others” but part of a whole.

Kapwa also means fellow human; togetherness; community and harmony with other people.
