Founded by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Carlos López Estrada, Antigravity Academy is an Emmy-winning creative home for singular storytellers with a unique emphasis on emerging talent. We develop and produce stories that haven’t been told before in film, television, documentary, short-form and beyond.
Antigravity is currently in post on Carlos López Estrada's latest feature film DED and on Alexandra Qin's debut feature film THIRSTYGIRL. Antigravity's debut film, DÌDI (弟弟), written and directed by Sean Wang, premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Audience Award, opened globally later that summer via Focus Features, and went on to win two Independent Spirit Awards. We have a robust slate of projects in development across narrative film, documentary, and television, including SMUGGLERS, in collaboration with This American Life and showrunner Joanna Calo (THE BEAR), YELLOWWOOD (dir. George Watsky), KILL YR IDOLS (dir. Marvin Lemus), and ASCENSION (dir. Gala Del Sol). In 2024, Antigravity presented the multimedia film “FOR MEXICO, FOR ALL TIME” at the Sphere in Las Vegas as the centerpiece of the groundbreaking sporting event, Noche UFC for which it won two Emmy Awards.
In addition to hosting frequent events and community nights, Antigravity's incubator houses flagship programs and resources for emerging filmmakers including the annual Antigravity Academy Screenwriters Camp and the Antigravity Academy Short Film Studio (powered by Dolby Creator Lab). In 2026, Antigravity Academy launched Indie Institute, a virtual filmmaking education and community platform designed to break down Hollywood barriers for all.
