Each year, Angel pulls back the curtain to reveal the future, and the Guild discovers how their voices have helped shape the next wave of world-changing stories. The Angel Illuminate 2025 livestream premieres Thursday, May 8 at 6PM MST. Whether you’re a longtime Angel supporter or just discovering what makes this movement unique, this event is your front-row seat to everything coming next—and why it matters. ICE What Is Illuminate? Illuminate is Angel’s annual global presentation. It’s where we share major news, reveal upcoming projects, and give fans and Guild members an exclusive first look at what’s ahead. Illuminate is a celebration of a model that puts the audience first, where storytelling isn’t driven by algorithms or agendas, but by people who believe in amplifying light through film and television. At last year’s Illuminate, fans saw first looks at Bonhoeffer, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, and Homestead, plus exciting news on new shows streaming on the Angel app. The event attracted viewers from around the world and signaled a shift in how great stories find their audience. This year’s event promises even more. NEAL Why You Should Watch The 2025 presentation will be packed with reveals that fans have been waiting for—and others no one will see coming. If you’ve been wondering what Angel is building behind the scenes, this is the moment you’ll want to be part of. Here’s what to expect from Illuminate 2025: Major New Project Reveals Be among the first to hear about brand-new shows and movies that have never been announced before. Some are already deep into production. Others are just beginning their journey. All of them have one thing in common: they’re made possible by the actions, voice, and memberships of the Angel Guild. Exclusive First Looks You’ll get teasers, trailers, and exclusive sneak peeks at what’s coming in 2025 and beyond—from both returning favorites and upcoming releases. If you want to be the first to know, this is your chance. JEFF Updates from the Filmmakers Illuminate brings the voices behind the stories to the forefront. Filmmakers and showrunners will share how these projects are being brought to life and how audience support continues to shape their path. The Power of the Angel Guild This is also a chance to celebrate the Guild—the core community of paid members who decide what gets greenlit at Angel. You’ll see the impact of your votes and hear how new projects are being tested and approved by real people, not executives in a boardroom. Surprises, Guests, and a Glimpse at the Future Illuminate wouldn’t be complete without a few surprises. From new partnerships to unexpected collaborations, the 2025 presentation will offer a glimpse into the next phase of Angel’s growth—and how we’re continuing to build an entertainment model that works for creators and audiences alike. JORDAN Be Part of the Moment There’s a reason this event is called Illuminate. It’s not just about what’s being made—it’s about the light these stories bring to a world in desperate need of truth, beauty, courage, and hope. This is your opportunity to get involved, get inspired, and help carry that light forward.
