What is a Tepui?

Tepuis are table-top mountains in the Guiana Highlands of South America that host a unique array of endemic plant and animal life. The word Tepui pronounced (Teh-‘poo-ee) means house of gods in the native tongue of the Pemon, the indigenous people who inhabit the region.

Inspired by these powerful ecological islands of the sky Tepui Media aims to provide a unique ecosystem of support and a platform for exciting new stories and emerging artists.

Vision

Our vision is to bring artists together to collaborate in create daring, engaging, and adventurous films and stage work that investigates what makes us human. We want to give a platform to traditionally underrepresented stories, and hope to generate conversations about issues impacting everyday people.

Values
