Welcome to North Bay Media!

Here at NORTH BAY MEDIA, we’re on a mission to ignite a creative revolution by building a dynamic, inclusive community for artists of all kinds: filmmakers, actors, musicians, game developers, writers, painters (from oil and watercolor masters to digital innovators), sculptors, potters working in clay and beyond, dancers, theater makers, photographers, illustrators, poets, jewelers crafting intricate visions, and countless other visionaries—and more.

Our passion is fostering a vibrant space where these creators can share their talents, support one another, and collaboratively bring their bold, original ideas to life. Join us as a vital part of this vibrant collective, where shared inspiration fuels endless possibilities.

We’re here to amplify those overlooked sparks of genius across every medium. Through groundbreaking festivals celebrating film, music, visual arts like painting and sculpture, performance, literature, jewelry, and interdisciplinary experimentation; thought-provoking seminars led by industry trailblazers; and collaborative workshops where ideas spark and evolve, we’re fostering an environment where creativity thrives and new perspectives shine across every discipline.

Dive in today and be a part of our shared goal to unearth the next visionary wunderkind, to champion originality, and to break free from the cycle of recycled ideas. Together, let’s redefine artistic expression and create a platform where every voice has a chance to be heard, and we really mean EVERY VOICE.

Join us in this exciting journey to shape the future of the arts! Your presence and participation are the spark that unlocks the potential of tomorrow’s creators.

Quote Corner

Past:

Martin Scorsese: “Cinema is being devalued, demeaned, and reduced to its lowest common denominator by the rise of theme-park films.” (Empire magazine, October 2019)

Francis Ford Coppola: “The same movie is being made over and over again. It’s not about art anymore; it’s about product placement and merchandising.” (Cannes Film Festival press conference for Megalopolis, 2024)

David Fincher: “The industry is so risk-averse now that it’s choking off anything that doesn’t fit a pre-existing IP or a guaranteed return.” (Indie Film Hustle, 2022)

Future:

Guillermo Del Toro: "When dialogue is impossible, parable becomes more urgent", “Disobedience is where thought begins.”, “The size of the idea matters more than the size of the screen.” (Financial Times, 2023)

Greta Gerwig: "I have great belief in the future of filmmaking being much closer to a 50-50 split between male and female creators. There are too many great filmmakers leading the charge for this not to be a turning point." (New Your Times, 2018)

Ava DuVernay: "All the traditional models for doing things are collapsing... it's a wide-open door for people who are creative to do what they need to do without having institutions block their art." (BET, 2015)
