While fiscal sponsorship is a component of the program, unlike other sponsoring organizations, we also provide a suite of support services such as tailored consultations, discounts to our workshops and webinars with leading industry professionals, and other essential resources.
In the last 5 years, WMM’s Production Assistance Program has helped 194 films reach completion and assisted filmmakers in raising more than $46,000,000 from government, foundation, corporate or individual, and crowd-funded sources. Since its inception, the program has been a part of raising more than $100,000,000 and helping more than 1,000 films to completion.
Films and filmmakers we have supported have been nominated for or won Academy Awards for the last 22 years, including Oscar-winning documentary CITIZENFOUR by Laura Poitras, STRONG ISLAND by Yance Ford, SUGARCANE by Emily Kassie and Julian Brave NoiseCat, TO KILL A TIGER by Nisha Pahuja, THE ETERNAL MEMORY by Maite Alberdi and THE BARBER OF LITTLE ROCK by John Hoffman and Christine Turner, the last two of which were directed by PA alum. The program has also supported critically acclaimed fiction features like FAMILIAR TOUCH (dir. Sarah Friedland), Dee Rees’ PARIAH, I CARRY YOU WITH ME (dir. Heidi Ewing, prod. Mynette Louie), FAREWELL AMOR (dir. Ekwa Msangi, prod. Huriyyah Muhammad, Sam Bisbee, Josh Penn), and THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL (dir. Marielle Heller). We’re thrilled to continue to have a large presence at the Sundance Film Festival, including GOING TO MARS: THE NIKKI GIOVANNI PROJECT (Dir Michèle Stephenson), LITTLE RICHARD: I AM EVERYTHING (dir. Lisa Cortés), Sandi Tan’s SHIRKERS, which won the World Cinema Documentary Competition Award for Best Directing, and most recently SEEDS (dir. Brittany Shyne, prod. Danielle Varga), which won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Documentary. In addition to Sundance, films supported by our program premiere at major festivals like Berlin, Tribeca, CPH:DOX, and SXSW.

[title] => After the Deluge
[text] => Two strangers cross paths in an NYC park a year into the COVID-19 pandemic. Sharka, a scrappy artist, stations herself at a local Brooklyn park in an attempt to paint and overcome the artistic block that she’s battled since the beginning of the pandemic. When an obtrusive lone traveler, Bridget, plants herself on the bench next to Sharka, tempers flare. Neither Bridget nor Sharka have been this close to a stranger for the past year. Although they’ve both recently received the new vaccine, they’re still afraid to be close to another person. Eventually, the two break down and share stories of their aloneness since lockdown, and their respective longing for another person’s touch.
[logline] => A year into the Covid-19 pandemic, Sharka, a scrappy expressionistic painter, finds respite from the isolation of her small apartment on a park bench. When Bridget, a self-possessed lone traveler dragging a suitcase, encroaches and sits down next to her, angry sparks fly until the two find unexpected common ground.

[title] => Unlocked aka Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution
[text] => The vivid and deeply personal stories at the heart of "Unlocked" have not been heard before. Because of the power and diversity of these stories, we believe Unlocked has the authenticity and breadth of vision to inspire the deep shift in values and attitudes needed to realize a healthcare system rooted in principles of recovery.
Accounts are shared from very different perspectives. Former patients, people of lived experience, peers, family members, direct care staff, clinicians, administrators, inmates, law enforcement, and corrections personnel share markedly different realities. Seen together, these varied points of view provide an overview that supports better understanding and open dialogue. Even the most painful stories offer hope.
Since the release of "Kings Park" in 2012, we have seen over and over the power of putting a human face on the story of public mental healthcare. The response to our screenings nationwide has been overwhelmingly positive and equally passionate in colleges, hospitals, peer organizations, national conferences, jails, provider settings, and advocacy groups.
With the help of a generous grant from The Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care we have completed a project prototype consisting of:
• A sample 2-part Video Curriculum which includes including featured videos of personal stories, topic essays and other teaching resources;
• A sample Video Library of viewable and searchable clips of uncut documentary scenes and interviews;
• Streaming access to the documentary "Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution."
We are now seeking funds to complete the digital learning site.
[logline] => "Unlocked" is a groundbreaking digital learning site created for people going into healthcare and professionals already working in the field. Building on the success of the "Kings Park" documentary, "Unlocked" features a wealth of personal stories with individuals who have experienced the U.S. mental healthcare system firsthand.

[title] => The Road to Independence (Working Title)
[text] => The Road to Independence plans to explore Vietnamese veterans’ personal stories, creative problem-solving, and combat experiences in their struggle for autonomy during the Vietnam-American war. Along with serving as a primary source historical record, this film connects history and present by asking both veterans and youth about their impressions of the war and hopes for the country’s future. At least 50% of all subjects in the film will be female voices.
It’s rare in the United States to see a film exclusively showcasing the Vietnamese experience of the Vietnam War. The Road to Independence will cover a side of the war that hasn’t been examined by most Americans. We’ve gotten many versions that seem to omit the greatest question - what was it all about? Vietnam has a long record of fighting for its autonomy, from China, Mongolia, France, Japan, and America. Vietnam stands out as a country without monetary resources that has been able to gain independence from some of the most powerful empires in the world. It’s a David and Goliath story. It’s a story that should be told from the voices of the people that lived and fought there.
[logline] => Seeking to give a nuanced and humanized view of the Vietnam-American war and its complex reverberations, this documentary explores the perspective of Vietnamese youth and Communist veterans as they discuss the past and their dreams for Vietnam's future.

[title] => American Fall
[text] => Apple pie, homecoming games and golden leaves. Autumn evokes an American identity that is rooted in wholesomeness, celebration, and change. In 2024, as summer days wane, the presidential election looms. Scrolling social media or watching the news, there is a palpable sense that we are an angry, divided nation. A filmmaker sets off on a cross country trip to discover what unites us.
On the road we’re dropped into the sights and sounds of everyday Americans’ lives: a cranberry harvest in Massachusetts, visiting a cranberry harvest in Massachusetts, a Thanksgiving reenactment in Virginia, a welder’s garage in Arkansas, a second line in New Orleans, a barbershop in Phoenix where driverless cars navigate the city, and more.
The film explores our nation at a pivotal moment when people are struggling to understand the complex global forces shaping their realities, and in the midst of fear and uncertainty, still finding joy in their communities.
Through a personal, warm-hearted lens, AMERICAN FALL presents a snapshot of who we are as a country and offers a hazy apparition of what lies ahead.

[title] => As Prescribed
[text] => Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, Restoril. All belong to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines (benzos). Entertainment media portray them as innocuous medications that relax nerves and take the edge off. And news media talk about them in terms of addiction and as an adjunct to the opioid crisis. As Prescribed tells a more accurate story — one about an unrecognized epidemic that has more in common with traumatic brain injury and severe autoimmune disease than with lifestyle management or drug addiction.
Though living in different parts of the country, “benzo warriors” Geraldine, Matt, Amy, and Leigh are joined in a battle to expose the benzodiazepine scourge. All are victims of prescribed-drug injury and are part of a grassroots army that helps other victims and strives to prevent harm to a new generation. Following these heroic subjects, As Prescribed tells the under-the-radar story of benzodiazepines, tracking their catastrophic impact on human health worldwide, offering a moving narrative and a timely argument for change.

[text] => This film is a project of Documentary Australia and is sponsored by Women Make Movies as part of our ongoing partnership in support of independent filmmakers.
A documentary and book with a global vision to shift humanity out of a state of crisis.
Once in awhile a film comes along and speaks to the need of the time. The Portal follows six real-life stories that all overcome trauma, anxiety, depression and PTSD using a simple yet powerful technique. In our current state of the world, the question is asked, what does the planet look like if we all did this?
“Blown Away!! So so profound, and a message the world needs to hear.” – Maria Sipka, Co-Founder of Linqia
“This film is a game-changer!” Andrea Brooke, Sonic Butterfly
“Perfection!” Light Watkins, Vedic Meditation Teacher

[title] => Family Treasures Lost and Found
[text] => One of the tragedies suffered by Holocaust survivors and their descendants is loss of history. For some, this is partly due to the decisions of survivors not to talk about their prewar lives and persecution before and during World War II. A cascade of heartache can impact later generations; they must balance their need to know with respect for the privacy of relatives and their desire to protect them from the pain of reliving terrible experiences in the process of disclosing them. Our one-hour documentary traces how Karen first delved into inherited papers and had them translated. We demonstrate how she followed leads from them and scoured the Internet. We travel to Europe with her to real-world archives and cities family members frequented. Our film reveals the complexity and joy of Karen’s quest, and the satisfying knowledge gained from it.
Family Treasures Lost and Found shows how a few righteous individuals, at great personal peril, helped save Karen’s mother. Our film also shows the importance of a free press, in the case of Karen’s father, local reporting. This is so important now, as authoritarians worldwide attack journalists. Thus, our film reflects many issues related to freedom.
Family detective stories fascinate people. PBS’s Finding Your Roots, is in its ninth year. Over 3 million subscribe to Ancestry.com, which includes Newspapers.com. Many determine their DNA through genetic testing. Because Karen has used many tools and services to unravel the past, she can feed those hungry for information on how to do it.
[logline] => Journalist Karen A. Frenkel is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. Her mother spoke of her wartime ordeal, but her father was silent. Karen embarked on a five-year quest to fill in the gaps, honor her parents and lost relatives, and ensure that memories would endure. This became an exciting detective story as she searched online and real-world archives and visited cities to better understand silence and loss.

[title] => Jamaica Kincaid: Liberating the Daffodil (working title)
[text] => Beginning with early childhood visits to tropical colonial gardens in Antigua to present-day global seed expeditions, the garden is both metaphor and manifestation of a quest for diversity, in the life of award-winning author, Jamaica Kincaid. She firmly advocates that through agriculture, the “tree of life,” and botany, the “tree of knowledge,” humans can truly come to understand existence.
Via the artistic lens of the garden and her indelible connection to nature, our nonfiction film will follow the many storied dimensions of Jamaica’s Kincaid’s life experiences from her “Union Jack” schooling in Antigua, to working as an au pair in Scarsdale, to her illustrious career as a staff writer for The New Yorker for twenty years. The film will be visually dramatic in a naturalistic style, structured as a beautifully woven collage of flowers, plants, anecdotes, events, literary excerpts, archival footage and the vestiges of colonialism as portrayed in Kincaid’s writings.
"The garden, no matter how good it is, must never completely satisfy. The world as we know it after all, began in a very good garden, a completely satisfying garden –Paradise – but after a while the owner and the occupants wanted more."
Jamaica Kincaid, “My Favorite Plant.”
[logline] => This riveting portrait of writer Jamaica Kincaid traces her life from growing up in colonial Antigua, to working as an au pair in Scarsdale, N.Y. as a teenager, to becoming a staff writer for The New Yorker at age 26.

[text] => Legendary game designer Brenda Romero’s TEDx talk has been viewed over half a million times. Through her social media, Brenda, now fifty-two and a mother of an ethnically blended family of four, shares her passion for games, her challenge to lose weight, and her devotion to her husband, game developer John Romero. Brenda creates board games that address marginalized members of society, leads workshops for at-risk youth, guides her video game company, Romero Games, and has influenced millions. GAME ON, a character-driven feature documentary asks, Who is this woman, how does she do it all, and can she continue to strike video game gold? How can she stay relevant in an ever-changing world - and in an industry that favors youth?
Currently, Brenda and her husband John are developing a top-secret game. In the past, Brenda launched a game - a stressful endeavor in any capacity - while eight months pregnant with twins. How will she do it now? And, as she ages, can Brenda keep the video game hits coming?
GAME ON will immerse the viewer in Brenda’s quest and her unique universe. GAME ON will also inspire girls to follow their dreams, to transform digital culture, and to build a world of allies in an ever-polarizing world.
[logline] => GAME ON is a feature-length character-driven documentary about BAFTA-winning game designer Brenda Romero. In the last thirty pioneering years, Brenda has contributed to nearly fifty game titles, developing innovative video and board games in a male-dominated environment. Can she sustain video game gold?

[title] => Love, Jamie
[text] => Jamie Diaz is a 64-year-old transgender woman serving a life sentence in a men’s prison in Texas. Despite the cruelty of her environment and denial of her humanity, Jamie has built a name for herself as an artist.
Using the limited materials available to her on the inside, Jamie creates bold and graphic paintings awash in color and symbolism. Many of them are self-portraits depicting herself as a free and proud trans woman. Pain, transformation, and liberation are common themes in her work. Over the past decade, Jamie has been sending her art through prison walls to her friend and chosen family, Gabriel Joffe.
Gabriel, who is also trans, had come across an intricately illustrated letter from Jamie while volunteering with Black and Pink, an organization of LGBTQ+ people who are incarcerated and their “free world” allies. Hundreds of letters later, a deep and profound friendship has formed between them which has dramatically altered both of their lives.
With Gabriel’s collaboration, Jamie had her first solo art show at a gallery in New York City in Fall 2022.
Jamie’s story is one of transformation and transcendence. It is a story of an artist who has a deep and abiding friendship with a person she has never touched. It is a story of art declaring life.

[title] => The Boy and the Suit of Lights
[text] => Borja's eyes scan the floor with intense concentration, his left hand clutching the cape that follows their gaze. His right hand grips a thin sword. As he looks up into the stands, his mother Raquel stares back. Raquel single-handedly raised him and his younger brother, Erik, and Borja feels a great responsibility on his shoulders to take them out of poverty. Borja lives in a small coastal town in Spain where opportunities are limited. After school, he spends hours honing his bullfighting skills in the local School of Bullfighting, funded by public money. At 12, Borja is by far the youngest in the group. The teacher organizes a mock bullfight with calves. The atmosphere is electric. Borja notices his classmates wear better costumes - shiny silver-buttoned jackets, known as a suit of lights. He looks down in embarrassment at the plastic buttons sewn onto his own jacket. In the middle of the mock fight, animal rights activists burst into the ring. The audience yells and boos. Eventually, the activists are taken away. Activists are campaigning hard to put an end to public money being used to support bullfighting and bull rearing. Could we be witnessing the last generation of bullfighters in Spain? Expenses are piling up - Borja knows his family are making a huge effort to support him and now is the time to "man up" and really fight for the dream. He understands there is no going back. Will he become a torero?
[logline] => Hoping to rescue his family from poverty, young Borja is torn between tradition, controversy, and identity as he aspires to fulfill his family's dream of becoming a bullfighter.

Through a diaristic form, I question established notions of femininity and womanhood that many in my family, and our culture, hold as fact. The film will include conversations with my mother, aunts, doctors, and sisters as I attempt to understand and unpack our collective relationship to sex and gender.

[title] => Recovery City
[text] => Recovery City, set in the working class city of Worcester, Massachusetts, follows the lives of four women, each reflecting different facets of addiction and recovery. Christine is a recovering alcoholic struggling to regain custody of her four children. Bridget runs women’s support meetings at a peer-led recovery center. Police Officer Janis and recovery coach Rebecca work to help get people off the streets and into rehab. This is a film about the hard work, grit, and camaraderie it takes to reclaim your life. Recovery City is a film that humanizes recovery in a world that, consciously or not, stigmatizes the process. In a time where we only hear about the ravages and tragedies of addiction, Recovery City offers something else entirely - hope.
[logline] => Recovery City is an intimate, unflinching portrait of four bold women who refuse to let themselves or their community give in to the stigma and despair of addiction.

[title] => 9-Month Contract
[text] => Jana spent her childhood between orphanages and streets of Tbilisi. While raising her 14-year-old daughter, Elene, as a single parent without an occupation, she decided to become a surrogate mother. She has to carry someone else's baby for 9 months in exchange for 14.000 USD, an unimaginable amount of money for Jana, of course, she's on board! Jana has already given birth to three babies out of two surrogate pregnancies and is pregnant for the third time. Although she is not living in the streets any more, she is still far from reaching her dream which is to have her own place to live in. It is unclear how many babies Jana needs to deliver to fulfil this dream. The amount of money that seems a lot at first, disappears between her pregnancies, then Jana needs to start the process again. As Jana’s health deteriorates from pregnancy to pregnancy, she thinks of worst case scenarios. However, lacking other options, Jana sees surrogacy as the only way out of homelessness. Elene’s future is a strong motivation for her to carry on through this emotionally and physically hard journey for as long as her health allows. Elene is growing up, so Jana isn’t able to hide her pregnancies from her any more. Her relationship with Elene is the most precious thing for Jana and she is afraid to open up to her about surrogacy. She feels that Elene might judge her, because deep in her heart, Jana does judge herself.
[logline] => For an orphan Jana, motherhood has always been priceless. When she has to raise a kid single and homeless, Jana becomes a surrogate mother to offer her daughter the life she’s never had. Nine months and 14.000 USD - is it as simple and priceless as it sounds?
