Filthy Studios FAQ
Inclusivity and Studio Culture
At Filthy Studios, we believe creativity and innovation thrive in diverse and inclusive spaces. When people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives come together, they bring a wealth of ideas and insights that can lead to groundbreaking work. We embrace this diversity as a source of strength and inspiration.
Inclusivity and respect are not just ideals but the foundation of our culture. We stand firmly against all forms of discrimination, including racism, sexism, ableism, and any other prejudices that seek to divide and marginalize individuals. Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves.
To ensure that our studio is a safe and welcoming space for all, we have implemented a zero-tolerance policy for discriminatory behavior. We actively listen to our crew and attendees and take immediate action to address any reports of discrimination or harassment.
