Where entertainment, empathy,
and an equitable industry
are the same project.
"Soulfire Creations exists because we love making films — and we love feeling fulfilled by how we make them, who benefits, and what we leave behind."
Who We Are
Amy Walker and Nipun Nair founded Soulfire Creations on a simple conviction: make films that entertain — and leave something real behind. Our work is inclusive by design, egalitarian in spirit, and made in genuine alliance with the communities represented in the stories we tell.
Our work together spans a decade — from inspiring short films, like Into Light, to impact-driven doc Love Is Not Tourism, to commercial projects for longterm clients that brought the same care to every frame: writing, performance, direction, post production, all with a genuine investment in the people we partner with and their audience.
Warehouse workers who needed a laugh and a clear explanation. A youth educator who needed to pivot from live theatre shows in schools to an online adaptation during the pandemic. A values-driven tech startup who started small and needed content that enabled them to land Fortune 50 clients. And a personally special honor: writing on two sci-fi/fantasy projects in development for the beloved trailblazers at Wētā Workshop. We only work on what we love and believe in. It turns out other people believe in it too.
How We Work →Our Slate
When Belle leaves the man she loves for becoming a Scrooge, she'll have to learn how her own self-sacrifice mirrors his greed — with a little help from three unexpected spirits. London, 1812. The Dickens universe, centering those who've been left out of our actual history.
A mysterious woman, who can speak and behave like anyone she encounters, unites a team of brilliant misfits to stop planetary crimes before they happen.
Think: Orphan Black meets Leverage: Redemption… with a hint of the original Earth's champion.
The story of voting rights martyr Inez Milholland. Award-winner. Worldwide distribution. Our model in action.
A morally charged love triangle between a Jewish French Resistance Spy, an Arabian counterfeiter with refugee children, and a Nazi Officer secretly protecting his Jewish soldiers in occupied France. Based on documented hidden history.
Our Model in Action
When we set out to tell the story of voting rights martyr Inez Milholland, we envisioned more than a short film. Partnering with women-owned nonprofit, Ishtar Films and the National Women's History Alliance and NWH Museum, we built a coalition that went beyond traditional filmmaking.
Released in the crucial 2020 election year, Into Light became a catalyst for change — empowering audiences to register to vote even in the uncertainty of the pandemic. The result: global festival awards, worldwide distribution through Multicom Entertainment, and a living proof that filmmaking can be philanthropic and deeply human.

How We Work
What we create…begins with How we create it.
We're here foremost to make films people love. That can also quietly change…everything.
Stories that center underrepresented communities, made with them — not about them from a distance.
Projects find their natural partner — a nonprofit whose work aligns with the film's message. This is win-win, because through the film, the nonprofit gains visibility, new supporters, long-term revenue, and a story that shines some light on why their work is so important.
The film also benefits, because the nonprofit can reach out to their community of supporters to contribute to the film, knowing that a portion of the revenue will support a cause they already love.
Funders can contribute as a traditional investment, a tax-deductible donation, or any combination of the two — whatever serves them best.
For any portion raised through donations, that same portion of revenue flows back to the nonprofit partner. In these unsteady times, that's revenue that will continue to serve the nonprofit, from theatrical release through streaming.
Together, art and philanthropy are strengthened, and built so that everyone who makes it possible can share in what it becomes.
Vendors, companies, and individuals who contribute goods or services — locations, equipment, catering, expertise — receive a tax receipt, a credit in the film, and something harder to quantify: the genuine satisfaction of being part of something their community will remember.
Giving in this way is more than charity. It's belonging.
Every cast and crew member earns the same weekly rate — one that works across all unions and honors every contribution equally. Residuals are distributed per weeks worked, and are shared as soon as gross revenue flows.
This is the Ethos model, developed by filmmakers Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley, and it's a grassroots movement we love being a part of.
Investors, crew and cast all receive revenue from gross sales:
60% of gross sales goes to investors and the nonprofit and 40% to cast and crew — until costs are fully recouped. Then it shifts to 50/50 in perpetuity.
Everyone who made it possible shares in what it becomes.
Into Light showed us something we already believed: when everyone connected to a film is genuinely invested in it — creatively, financially, communally — it's more deeply fulfilling than anything we create alone.
