The Chicago Media Factory was created to celebrate and visually showcase the vibrant culture of Chicago. Our mission is to create a platform that highlights the city’s creativity, music, and art without reviews or critiques—just authentic representation. Through our website, we aim to show you what’s out there and let the images tell the story.

All my homies shoot film reflects the camaraderie and appreciation for the craft that binds this community. it draws inspiration from a thriving community of photographers and artists in Chicago, particularly those dedicated to the art of analog photography. It’s about more than just capturing quick photos—it’s about the time, effort, and collaboration that go into taking photos because of the love of the process.

through The Chicago Media Factory and all my homies shoot film, we explore the many ways Chicago’s culture can be expressed visually, celebrating the people, the music, the art, and the creativity that defines this city.

not to mention. we really are just a bunch of nerds.

The Chicago Media Factory was founded by Abraham Pina and Baitul Javid.

All My Homies Shoot Film was founded by Tom Birch.
