Good Gravy Films supports compelling stories that engage audiences with authentic, humanizing characters. Projects are funded through philanthropic grants and equity investments.
Launched in 2018 by Tegan Acton, Good Gravy Films is associated with the Wildcard Giving family of philanthropic entities. While the films we fund do not exclusively focus on the communities and causes that Wildcard supports, we often find ourselves drawn to stories that explore fights for justice, spark empathy, or remind us of our common humanity.
