Our Ambition

Each production will clearly indicate what budget is available and what compensation will be available for each role. Please note that funding applications may be ongoing and the status of the application may be pending at time you engage with us. For the avoidance of ambiguity, please assume you will be engaged on an Expenses Only basis unless otherwise stated.

Rights
Alexandru R Films, namely Alexandru R, is the sole custodian of any and all intellectual property rights, with the appropriate credits being given to all collaborators in a fair manner.
Disclaimer
Alexandru R Films reserves the right to approve or reject end products if they are deemed unsuitable for public distribution. This will not impact your reference, but it may impact your credit on platforms such as IMDB.
If you are found in breach of your collaboration agreement, you may not receive credit for your work. Mostly, this will apply to extreme cases of gross misconduct or for the failure to deliver on commitments.
We do not do it for the awards. Although we are very grateful for any awards and recognition we will receive for our work, we will likely not promote any such accolades. The most important thing we always keep in mind is the story we tell and its impact on our society and community as a whole.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Alexandru R Films and its collaborators believe that positive representation matters. Positive representation matters because it can have a significant impact not just on individuals but on society as a whole. It plays a crucial role in increasing self-esteem, shaping perceptions, and breaking down harmful stereotypes. When people, especially those from marginalised groups, see themselves positively represented in media, companies and government, it can lead to greater self-confidence and a sense of belonging. This, in turn, can help create a more inclusive and understanding society. Positive representation also allows individuals to succeed based on their talent, without being restricted by demographics, leading to a fairer and more authentic industry.
Alexandru R Films is committed to telling queer stories. Although we are solely focused on telling LGBTQIA+ stories, you do not have to identify as LGBTQIA+ to work with us. We will never ask about someone’s sexual identity in order to determine their suitability for a role. We believe the best person for the job is the best person for the job. Having said that, we also acknowledge the impact of shared experiences and their contribution to our work and we ask all cast and crew members to demonstrate an empathic understanding of the stories we tell.
Alexandru R Films is committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of sex, gender identity, sexual identity, faith, ethnic background or any other personal and/or protected characteristic. We believe that our differences make us who we are and that they add value to our work.
Alexandru R Films condemns sexism, homophobia, racism and their associated forms, and will intervene immediately when such incidents occur, either verbally or in writing.
Alexandru R Films acknowledges the lack of representation for minorities in cinema and aims to bridge that gap. We also acknowledge the gender disparity in our industry and aim to provide equitable resources and opportunities to everyone, regardless of their sex and background.
Alexandru R Films is committed to creating a healthy work environment, mentally and physically. Both mental and physical health is important to us. We will never compromise our commitment to either.
Please do not engage with Alexandru R Films if you do not share our understanding of the statements above.
