Produces and distributes uplifting independent films

About Angel Studios

Angel Studios produces and distributes independent films and TV shows that focus on positive and uplifting messages. The studio operates by allowing independent filmmakers to submit their projects, known as "torches," which are then reviewed by the Angel Guild, a community of investors and members who vote on which projects to support. This democratic approach ensures that the content resonates with audience preferences. Angel Studios offers a free app for users to watch content, encouraging them to "pay it forward" to fund future productions. Additionally, the company sells merchandise related to its shows. By engaging the community and focusing on meaningful entertainment, Angel Studios has established a unique position in the entertainment industry.
