Insignia Films is committed to creating quality content that deepens our understanding of the human experience – challenging perspectives through the stories we tell and the voices that tell them. We make films that matter and that consistently reach audiences across the political and cultural spectrum on platforms including PBS, The New York Times, National Geographic, HBO, HULU, Netflix, and Disney+. Our documentary Ailey premiered at Sundance and was celebrated by critics as a film that “pulses with joyful expressiveness and brims with possibility.” The Times celebrated American Veteran, our limited series with a companion podcast, because “it asks civilians to walk a mile in veteran boots, and it lights a path for the journey.” Following the sold-out TIFF premiere of  our latest film Free Money, about the world’s largest experiment in Universal Basic Income, IndieWire described it as “a penetrating and absorbing siren of a movie.”


Led by Stephen Ives, Amanda Pollak and Lauren DeFilippo, Insignia's team has been recognized with Primetime Emmys and honors from the Directors and Writers Guilds of America for their meticulously crafted, immersive, character-driven narratives that respect their subjects, captivate their audiences, and never lose sight of the core mission: to reveal the essential issues and struggles of our time with complexity and compassion.
