Indie Film Duo: Investing in Diverse Voices
11 Jun
Summary
- Co-CEOs aim to elevate underrepresented creators and authentic stories.
- Company pivoted from actor's frustration to film finance expertise.
- New film "Stop! That! Train!" stars 'RuPaul's Drag Race' cast.

Chris Quintos Cathcart, a former actor, and Tyler Boehm, a seasoned film financier, established Unapologetic Projects with a clear mission: to support underrepresented creators and promote authentic storytelling. Cathcart's pivot into film finance was spurred by her own frustrations with the acting industry, while Boehm's extensive experience provided the necessary expertise.
Together, they observed a gap in the industry's ability to keep pace with audience demand for new narratives and diverse representation. Unapologetic Projects aims to fill this void, investing in films that reflect multifaceted characters, challenging the traditional finance models that often overlook such projects.
The company's recent project, "Stop! That! Train!," an action-comedy disaster film, features prominent stars from "RuPaul's Drag Race." This venture underscores their commitment to backing projects with unique appeal and diverse casts, eager to see how these stories resonate with audiences upon their June 12 release.
Despite market shifts and ongoing challenges in the film industry since the company's inception in January 2023, Unapologetic Projects remains dedicated to its vision. They are actively exploring innovative distribution and marketing strategies to ensure their films reach broader audiences and prove the profitability of diverse storytelling.
