Rich Spirit is a curatorial film label amplifying voices from the global diaspora through cinema, culture, and community.

Launched at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, the label led the acquisition and rescue of The Apprentice — reclaiming Ali Abbasi’s political drama from a contentious lawsuit and shepherding it to release. Co-distributed with Briarcliff Entertainment, the film went on to receive Independent Spirit, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Academy Award nominations for Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan.

Rich Spirit expanded its slate with Kahlil Joseph’s BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions, partnering with the artist to secure the film’s rights back from A24/Participant Media and bring his long-awaited debut feature to audiences worldwide.

The label will release up to four films a year while continuing to invest in original development and commissioned works.
