A staunch believer in independent cinema's wide appeal and commercial viability, Alex Mitow is the founder and principal of Sherpa Films. Imagined as a development, distribution, and marketing apparatus primarily for films with LGBTQ+ themes or by queer creators, Sherpa uses savvy techniques to both put artists first and gain wide audiences for their work + achieve commercial success.
