TYLER PERRY STUDIOS
DREAM COLLECTIVE

PILOT PROGRAM APPLICATION DATES: APRIL 17 - MAY 1, 2025

Don’t sleep on the power of a dream.

You know, those vivid, audacious, live and in-living-color dreams, the kind that won’t let you rest. Dreams that shake you out of your slumber, linger long enough for you to take note, and then shapeshift into your own North Star.

Tyler Perry has always been a dreamer. A true believer. Indeed, the motto of his 330-acre film production studio is “A Place Where Even Dreams Believe.” He is, as the old saying goes, the embodiment of his ancestors’ wildest dreams. As such, the famously hardworking writer / director / actor / entrepreneur honors those who came before him by sharing the wealth.

The Tyler Perry Studios Dream Collective.

The Tyler Perry Studios Dream Collective is designed to identify, cultivate, and elevate the next wave of dynamic filmmakers, with an eye on historically underrepresented, underrecognized voices.

Our three-tiered initiative brings together new and emerging directorial voices and seasoned professionals in film and television, placing emphasis on practical training, mentorship and career sustainability.

We Support singular storytellers ready to do the work.

“…there are people whose lives are tied into your dream.  Stop fighting for a seat at the table and build your own.”
