🎬 Poplar Institute for Film is now PIFFcorp.
After five years of amplifying indie voices, we’ve rebranded with renewed clarity and purpose.
Now based in Columbus, Ohio, PIFFcorp is a nonprofit dedicated exclusively to producing and distributing independent films — especially from underrepresented storytellers.
What’s changing:
🔄 New name: PIFFcorp
đź“Ť New base: Columbus, Ohio
đźš« No more media marketing services
🎯 100% focused on production + distribution
What’s new:
✨ In 2025, we’re launching startup + distribution grants for short films — including seed funding, festival strategy, and mentorship. More information later this year.
What’s staying the same:
đź–¤ Our commitment to grassroots, community-driven storytelling
🏆 Our drive to help bold stories reach global audiences
We’re not just supporting films — we’re building filmmakers.
Let’s dream it. Let’s shoot it.
Let’s own the narrative.

📢 Exciting Sponsorship Announcement! 📢
Poplar Institute for Film is thrilled to announce our incredible new sponsors! Over the past few years, we’ve been working passionately to showcase a diverse array of projects and programs, including our Filmmaker in Residence initiative, distribution through PIFF Festival Support, and PIFF Originals—offering artists a safe space to create, grow, and thrive.
Thanks to the generous support of The Optimist Club of St. Louis, Regions Bank, and Cinema St. Louis, we’re excited to announce that production is underway for our latest short film, Know My Name. This powerful film, created ten years after the tragic death of Michael Brown, explores the lasting impact of his legacy on a community still wrestling with grief and injustice. Through personal interpretations between parent and child, poetic reflections, and vivid flashbacks, Know My Name tells a deeply moving story of loss, love, and hope.
