OUR JOURNEY
Footlight Productions is a restless collective of filmmakers, performers, and media artists who came together in 2014 with one purpose: to tell bold, off-center stories with synergistic vision. What began as a small team with a single short film has grown into a multidisciplinary group spanning film, television, digital, and beyond.
United by craft and driven by collaboration, we create worlds that invite new perspectives while championing under-represented voices. Our mission is simple: build a safe, professional, and inspiring space where stories—and the artists behind them—can thrive.

FOOTLIGHTS IN THE PRESS
"Vanessa [Silva] is breaking new ground and pushing boundaries with her filmmaking. It takes a unique person who has the resolve and courage to be able to do that. A person with vision who can look past the standard tropes and clichés of our craft. Perhaps someone who was writing screenplays as a child when the other kids were playing in sandboxes. Vanessa is that person. She is pushing herself and the industry with a fervor that will not be outmatched."

"In the Spotlight: Vanessa Silva"
"I’d love to see [the industry] grow into something where we no longer have to worry about fighting for equal opportunities and it just is – all the while continuing to make something great with passion at the forefront. And, at the end of the day, I just want to be a part of that.”
