Kizoku Exchange

Miami, United States


KIZOKU Exchange is a curated cinematic Exchange focused on CAPITAL · INTELLIGENCE · SYSTEMS · VISIONARY VENTURES.

The Kizoku Exchange is not a traditional film festival; it is a Strategic Narrative Marketplace.

We evaluate narratives for their underlying intent—what a story is truly saying about power, strategy, innovation, or systems—not just plot. We provide a bridge between elite filmmakers and the worlds of capital, industry, and infrastructure.

THE FOUR TRADING FLOORS
We look for "Architects" who produce work—both modern and historical—that aligns with our four primary sectors:

CAPITAL | Markets & Geopolitics: The flow of wealth, mastery of risk, and how global power shifts affect the economy. Includes investment banking and capital market mechanics.

INTELLIGENCE | Strategy & Maneuvering: The art of outthinking an opponent. Includes military doctrine, espionage, geopolitical power plays, and high-level corporate strategy or espionage.

SYSTEMS | The Infrastructure of Order: Deconstructing the complex networks that run our world—financial systems, political frameworks, global logistics, and supply chains.

VENTURE | Innovation & Brand Heritage: The blueprint of achievement. Profiles of entrepreneurs, legacy brand stories, and pioneers who disrupt industries and build empires.

Don’t just screen your film. Brief the Industry.

Most festivals give you a laurel leaf. We give you a Seat at the Table.

Narrative Intelligence Vetting: Your work is analyzed for deep intent, not just plot.
Direct Line to Buyers: Your film enters the private screening rooms of TV channels, publishers, brands and distributors.

The Winner’s Gallery: Permanent streaming on Kizoku Media—acting as your 24/7 digital broker to global industry players.
