Carolyn Mauricette and Keda Edwards Pierre are disruptors by design, industry veterans who recognized the systemic barriers faced by PoGMI creators and chose to build something better. Together, they founded Access Threshold: an intentional, collaborative hub where talent meets access and inclusion becomes action.

To empower PoGMI creators to craft impactful stories, develop high-quality content, and thrive in industries that value and amplify their voices.

We believe in the power of inclusion, not as a trend, but as a necessary evolution. Our mission is to accelerate the presence of diverse creators in film, television, and new media, and to support industry partners committed to equity, representation, and sustainable collaboration.

We envision an inspired and purposeful film industry where diverse filmmakers are welcomed, empowered, and supported at every stage of their creative journey.

An industry where PoGMI talent is sought after, not sidelined.
Where inclusion is systemic, not symbolic.
Where bold storytelling reshapes the narrative.
