ABOUT FCF

Established by Ava Porter and Farhad Akhmetov in 2017, Fifth Corner Films is an LA-based collective of award-winning filmmakers and visual artists who make striking original narrative, documentary, experimental, audio-visual, and multimedia content. Through grants, fellowships, and private investments we direct and produce our own work. We also offer on-location and remote production and post-production services for film, television, web, live performance (concert visuals), and gallery installation.
