Launched by eBay founder and philanthropist Pierre Omidyar, First Look Media (FLM) is built on the belief that freedom of expression and of the press, and fiercely independent perspectives, are vital to a healthy democracy and a vibrant culture. Through its award-winning entertainment studio, Topic, FLM develops, produces and finances content for all screens including feature films, television, digital series and podcasts. First Look’s entertainment business supports the work of its nonprofit side, which is home to The Intercept, dedicated to fearless, adversarial journalism; Field of Vision, the filmmaker-driven documentary unit; and The Press Freedom Defense Fund, supporting journalists, filmmakers and others challenging actions that restrict press freedoms and impede access to information of public concern.

First Look Media's core mission is centered around championing independent voices and fostering a culture of fearless, impactful storytelling. The organization is dedicated to supporting creators and journalists who bring forth unique perspectives, empowering them to produce content that challenges the status quo and drives meaningful conversations.
