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] => PERSIS
[text] => What is a woman who takes a journey into the unknown called? How do we define the impact and labor of her work when it opens a door that cannot be closed? And what does it take to create a new language that many know in their hearts to mean a pioneer, but unable to summon because the pieces to explain this have been buried in time?
To many, Persis Khambatta was the woman who turned heads as Lieutenant Ilia in the film Star Trek The Motion Picture (1979), but to many of those from the South Asian and Parsi community, Persis’ pioneering work was a historical moment of being seen.
But the 1970s and 80s were a hard time for an outsider like Persis in Hollywood. How she was treated, and how she tried to navigate the talk show circuit is a telling and fascinating look at attitudes in the culture of the era.
Through a mix of archival materials and contemporary interviews, the film will delve into the iconic Persis Khambatta's life in the US.

[title] => #WhileBlack
[text] => #WhileBlack follows citizen journalists like Diamond Reynolds and Darnella Frazier who shared horrifying police brutality videos via social media. Millions have seen their videos, but few realize how sharing them came at a great cost. Diamond, Darnella and others went into hiding to escape online trolls, invasive media and police surveillance. This film reveals how Big Tech exposes racism, but also exploited both the witnesses behind the camera and millions of online viewers. This film asks us to examine how we as a nation view Black death. We think of it as productive. It produces hashtags that people follow, like #DrivingWhileBlack or #SwimmingWhileBlack; it produces a viewership. #WHILEBLACK follows witnesses and their families as they fight against the system turning their pain into profit.

[title] => A Towering Task
[text] => A TOWERING TASK: THE STORY OF THE PEACE CORPS is a feature documentary covering the almost 60-year history of the agency. From the Peace Corps' founding under JFK, through the eras of the Vietnam War and the Reagan administration when the agency was nearly undone, to today's existence at the forefront of some of the most pressing themes facing the global community while being nearly forgotten by the American public, A Towering Task takes viewers on a journey of what it means to be a global citizen. Historians, journalists, former staff and volunteers, and host country nationals come together to shine a light on this uniquely American agency as it has evolved through its history. Notable interviewees include President Jimmy Carter, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Representatives Donna Shalala, Joe Kennedy, and John Garamendi, as well as Peace Corps founders Harris Wofford and Bill Josephson. National and international distribution is planned through community screenings, film festivals, college and university programming, public television broadcast, and, eventually, streaming.

[title] => How To Power A City
[text] => My documentaries focus on social issue stories and have generated critical acclaim and applause at film festivals. My new documentary "How To Power A City,” releases soon. On the long road to releasing the feature documentary, several short films from “How To Power A City” have screened around the world. One — "Solar Libre: Family Affair" — won The Director’s Award, Best Short Puerto Rico Documentary, at the 2019 Rincón International Film Festival in Puerto Rico. Others screened at film festivals in Toronto, Melbourne, San Francisco, Detroit, New York City, and several other places.
In 2022 I was honored to be selected as a Public Voices Fellow on the Climate Crisis, a fellowship collaboration with the OpEd Project and Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.
My other films include “The Poetry Deal: a film with Diane di Prima” (2011), which was embraced by di Prima’s fan base as a rare glimpse into this avant-garde poet’s storied life. It remains the only documentary solely focused on the life and work of this legendary poet, who passed away in October 2020. In 2022, “The Poetry Deal” begins airing on PBS and public television stations across the U.S., and within a few months broadcast literally coast-to-coast - from Alaska to Hawaii and New York To California. My first film, “Sir: Just A Normal Guy” (2001), was released to acclaim at LGBTQ festivals and events internationally, and received as a sensitive first-person portrait of a widely misunderstood area of human experience. Both “Sir” and “The Poetry Deal” were used widely in educational settings and are in the permanent collections of the nation’s most prestigious universities.

[title] => One Person, One Vote?
[text] => ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE? (OPOV?) is a feature documentary that takes an unprecedented look at the Electoral College through the eyes of four presidential electors – a Republican, a Democrat, a Green, and a Kanye West elector – whose motivations range from noble to the absurd.
The film takes place during arguably the most wildly historic elections of our times – when the Electoral College took center stage like never before as political operatives used mechanisms in the Electoral College process to attempt to change the outcome. The film is bookended with never-before-seen footage at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when violence broke out in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying the Electoral College votes.
The vast majority of Americans do not understand how the Electoral College works or know why we have it in the first place. OPOV? intercuts present-day events with flashbacks of its history – the overlooked role of slavery when it was established and, ultimately, how it dramatically shaped election outcomes and history over time.
By the time the credits roll, OPOV? offers viewers a complex and nonpartisan understanding of this historic institution created in a bygone time while highlighting the connective tissue that links then and now, so urgent and timely questions we’re grappling with today are not separate and apart from our past but directly informed by it in the present.
[logline] => An in-depth look at the Electoral College, its slavery origins, and its impact on society today. The film features four dynamic electors from different parties offering insight into the inner workings of this often-misunderstood institution. A timely, nonpartisan film that will fill a stark information gap in American presidential elections.

[title] => Wittig, Yes!
[text] => Wittig, Yes! introduces Wittig's political, theoretical, and literary ideas through the creative collaborations with her partner Sande Zeig and a new generation of international academics and writers who articulate the foundations of her conceptual revolution. Zeig interweaves excerpts of work they developed over the years through archival film, photographs, personal notes, as well as theatrical readings, moving with them from France, Greece, California, and Arizona. The three decades of public and private archival materials unveil Monique Wittig not only as a revolutionary writer, thinker, and activist but also as a multifaceted individual with a profound compassion for others, a deep love of nature, and an exceptional sense of humor. She leaves a legacy that continues to have an impact on our current ideas of gender and political thought.
[logline] => More than 50 years ago, Monique Wittig, acclaimed writer, theorist, and lesbian feminist icon, dared to envision a world beyond gender. Told by her lifelong partner Sande Zeig, Wittig, Yes! unveils the synthesis of Wittig's public and private personas, tracing the origins of her groundbreaking theories.

[title] => A Photographic Memory
[text] => Thirty years after her mother’s death, photographer Rachel Elizabeth Seed discovers her mother’s work — more than 50 hours of interviews with the greatest photographers of the 20th Century, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lisette Model, Gordon Parks, W. Eugene Smith, Roman Vishniac, Cornell Capa, and Bruce Davidson. When Rachel threads in the audio reels and presses play, she hears her mother’s voice for the first time since she was a baby. Sheila Turner-Seed, a daring, world-traveling journalist ahead of her time, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm when Rachel was just 18 months old. Moved to uncover more of what she left behind, Rachel sets out to revisit her mom’s subjects, family and friends, revisiting the photographers she interviewed decades before. As new truths emerge, Rachel builds an unlikely relationship with her mother through the audio recordings, photographs, and films her mother made during her brief life, crafting an imagined conversation through the cinematic medium. As she discovers the shocking secrets which may have led to her mother’s untimely death, Rachel’s ability to forge her own path hinges on how these revelations affect her own life. The film draws from footage of Rachel’s visits to the photographers her mother interviewed, Sheila’s award-winning audio-visual work, Super 8 family films, still photography, audio letters, and journals, weaving together personal and photohistorical media to tell a universal story — about facing mortality and loss, the construction of memory and the restoration of a legacy.
[logline] => A daughter attempts to piece together a portrait of her mother, a daring journalist, and a woman she never knew. Uncovering the vast archive Sheila Turner-Seed produced, including lost interviews with iconic photographers, the film explores memory, legacy and stories left untold.

[title] => Women of My Life
[text] => Crimes are being committed in all social classes against girls and women in Baghdad. Particularly since the American war and occupation of Iraq. Subconsciously all women feel threatened that they can be the next victim of violence at any moment.
This reality pushes, investigative journalist Zahraa Ghandour to investigate the story of her childhood friend Noor. When both girls were only 9 years old, Zahraa witnessed Noor's family dragging her away, leading to her abandonment and disappearance. In her journey to find her missing friend, Zahraa uncovers secret worlds of abuse against women, crimes that happen with impunity and stories of girls who have managed to escape their disappearance.
Through a multifaceted search that pans back and forth in time, Zahraa must navigate her girlhood trauma and reality, where the death and disappearance of women are a daily occurrence in a war-ravaged Iraq.
With other women survivors who choose to fight back, Zahraa challenges reality by imagining a life free of fear for Iraqi women. She asks: how is it possible to find the truth about what happened to Noor in the middle of this chaos? How does one break out of this endless cycle of fear that everyone here is stuck in?
[logline] => Born in the home of a Baghdad midwife, director Zahraa is a witness to violence against women from girlhood. In a cinematic journey she interrogates the past in search of her missing friend and confronts lifelong fears and nightmares as she works with other women to imagine a better future.

[title] => ISKRA (Spark!)
[text] => I have been a film sound recordist most of my life. I have listened to thousands of people’s voices recount their stories into my recorder, and touch audiences around the globe. After decades of recording other people’s voices, this is mine.
My father was an alchemist who turned transistors and cables into emotions and dreams. He worked at Iskra (‘spark’ in English), the legendary Yugoslav telecommunications company, the Apple of its day. Being different was baked into Iskra’s DNA and the country’s “non-alignment” was the defining signature of Iskra.
Our journey of discovery begins with my father but is cut short when he is diagnosed with dementia. I seek out others instead, from East and West.
Weaving in and out of past and present, with unique archive, our tale unfolds: in the 40s Iskra pledged to put their own 35mm projectors into every town in Yugoslavia. One of Iskra’s most celebrated engineers, now 105, was the first woman with an electro-technical degree and a film pioneer. In the 80s it boasted a computer department bigger than Microsoft. Through Iskra, the West could safely do business with the East. In 1988 Gorbachev visited it to understand this Yugoslav ‘cash cow and the recipe for success in doing business with the West.’
Do those that burn twice as bright do so for half as long?
Iskra was so intertwined with Yugoslavia that when the country descended into war, Iskra went with it. Born together in 1946, their fate was inextricably linked.
[logline] => Before Silicon Valley, Apple and Google, before Microsoft and Bill Gates, there was Yugoslavia and ISKRA. Overlooked and underrated, the non-aligned Yugoslav tech giant allowed East to connect with West. It was pioneering and avant-garde. Then... it suddenly disappeared.

[title] => Wisdom Gone Wild
[text] => Wisdom Gone Wild - is a personal documentary following a sixteen year caregiving journey into dementia for Rose Noda, a Japanese-American woman and her filmmaker-daughter Rea. The film follows a non-linear structure going between hospice, early onset, and mid-term dementia; mirroring Rose’s own erratic ‘travels through time’. To ‘enter the world’ of the person living with the condition - Rea enters Rose’s world, sitting calmly during her dramatic outbursts, listening deeply to her fragmented anecdotes, believing in her visions of animals, and joining her in spontaneous musical serenades. Unexpectedly, she finds a deeper connection to a mother who had previously been distant throughout her childhood. She discovers that like herself, her mother was at heart an artist and a creative. Rea is also able to connect the dots of Rose’s seemingly nonsensical stories to real events in Rose’s history; in particular her incarceration in U.S. concentrations camps during WWII and the FBI surveillance of Japanese Buddhist priests. Accepting her mother’s cognitive changes, Rea discovers a poetic language to communicate with Rose. They develop a vibrant relationship based on play, connection and humor. Rose’s dementia is revealed as a form of wisdom that has gone wild.
[logline] => WISDOM GONE WILD is an intimate documentary presenting a new look at dementia and caregiving. Rather than a portrait of loss, dementia is seen as a wisdom that has “gone wild.”

[title] => On Three Wheels
[text] => On Three Wheels captures the ups and downs of parents raising children with disabilities through the eyes of Sandra, a bike mechanic who closed down her repair shop to devote herself to a non-profit she founded committed to improving the lives of children with physical disabilities by building and gifting them adapted bicycles, moving them from wheelchair (four wheels) to tricycle (three wheels).
By way of inclusion in a treasured childhood activity that is typically unavailable to immobile children, the film demonstrates that when children with disabilities are given opportunities to access the generally inaccessible, they can not only improve their physical condition but also reach emotional milestones by experiencing the same freedoms, independence and ‘normalcy’ they perceive in the atypical children all around them. And for the many parents who have to spend hours upon hours navigating an inadequate health care and educational system, having a reason and the ability to be outdoors with their child is a welcome reprieve. As parents share with Sandra the daily struggles they experience from having to sue local school boards every year to unexpectedly losing an essential therapy, the film will show how the current systems are in dire need of improvements.
The film gives first hand access to a community that lacks access to much of the world to illustrate how inclusion can give all people with disabilities an equitable quality of life.
[logline] => On Three Wheels follows Brooklyn based, Puerto Rican bike shop owner Sandra as she risks it all for her dream of giving every wheelchair bound child an adaptive bicycle- taking them from four wheels to three- while bearing witness to the stark realities of families raising children with disabilities.

[title] => Exposure
[text] => As the Arctic polar ice cap melts, reaching the North Pole has become increasingly dangerous. But an expedition of women from the Arab World and Europe, led by explorer Felicity Aston, have set an audacious goal of skiing to the North Pole. Filmmaker Holly Morris and an all-women crew document this daring and unprecedented group as they navigate everything from frostbite and polar bear threats, to sexism and self-doubt in an intimate story of resilience, survival and global citizenry — in what may be the last-ever over ice expedition to the top of the world.

[title] => The Day Iceland Stood Still
[text] => When almost all the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975 refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children, they brought their country to its knees and catapulted the island nation to its status as one of the best places in the world today to be a woman. Told for the first time by the women themselves and timed for release in the lead-up to the strike’s 50th anniversary, the story is subversive and unexpectedly funny. “We loved our male chauvinist pigs,” recalls one of the activists, “We just wanted to change them a little!” This is the true story of one day that changed everything. The Day Iceland Stood Still is a collaboration between U.S. director Pamela Hogan, who campaigned as a high school student in the 1970s with her activist mother to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, and Icelandic producer Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir, who at the age of 7 accompanied her mother to that very strike in 1975 and thought that when she woke up the next morning “everything would be perfect.” The E.R.A. never passed in the U.S., and Iceland still isn’t perfect – but it’s the only country to have closed over 90% of its gender gap, and committed to reaching full equality in the near future. There’s a famous saying: “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.” We hope this story will inspire viewers all over the world to reimagine the possible.

[title] => Dépôt-Vente
[text] => Cherine’s Beirut stands for joy, beauty, and creativity. But most importantly it is home. And the tiny vintage shop Dépôt-Vente represents all of that. Whenever she feels down, she goes there. Nawal, the eccentric owner, has her model one of Dépôt-Vente’s upcycled outfits for the shop’s Instagram account, and the world suddenly seems bearable again. Outside the shop’s walls, however, Beirut is falling apart. When she meets the love of her life while travelling abroad, Cherine decides to start a new life with him in the US. While she gladly leaves behind the daily challenges of living in a broken country, cutting ties with home proves difficult. Cherine desperately attempts to hold onto what she lost by making a film about Dépôt-Vente, the place that embodies all the good parts of Beirut that the world seldom sees. Cherine films Claudia, Marc, and other youth working at Dépôt-Vente, and over time, she documents the changes the shop brings about in them. Marc, a designer who hides his queerness from his family, gains the confidence to live life as an openly gay man and becomes a drag artist. Claudia, a shy fashion student, tests her imagination by making wild garments out of everything from discarded gold fabric to leather handbags. Marc and Claudia aren’t the only ones changing, though. Over time, Cherine realizes that while many things remain, nothing is ever truly the same – not even Dépôt-Vente. And after five years of filming, she is finally ready to let go.

Generations of children have been left with this question in the wake of abuse suffered at the hands of the Troubled Teen Industry, an unregulated network of for-profit institutions claiming to fix wayward teenagers. Decades later, they are fighting back. Filmed over the course of nine years, The Kids Are Not Alright is an intimate portrait of trauma following three families’ journeys as they work to shed light on the devastating impacts of institutional abuse, pursue healing in the absence of justice, and fight to hold abusers accountable.

[title] => Untitled Women and Mushrooms Film
[text] => THE QUEENDOM (WT) is a study of entanglements: between women and mushrooms, mycelia and forests, humans and non-humans, and generational knowledge and modern science.
Eliseete and Julieta are young, scientifically-trained indigenous women in the forests of Oaxaca and Mexico State. They face discrimination, poverty, deforestation, climate change, and violent territorial conflicts, but they envision a different future.
THE QUEENDOM (WT) introduces Eliseete and Julieta in their daily lives and traces their connections to mushrooms and the obstacles they face as indigenous scientists. As they work on their parallel projects, the women come together to share knowledge and explore visions of how fungi can reshape the future. These imagined possibilities are brought to life by sci-fi inspired sequences. Interwoven throughout the film are intimate moments with the Mycelium that expand our perception of the natural world and allow us to connect with the inconspicuous beings that we share the planet with.
Part observational documentary and part speculative cinema, THE QUEENDOM (WT) envisions a sustainable future built through the collaboration of science and tradition, of humans and nature.
[logline] => Lis and Juli are unlikely heroes: instead of weapons or shields, they carry baskets to collect mushrooms. These indigenous foragers and scientists lead this immersive docu-sci fi journey through Mexico’s forests to unveil secrets from the Queendom — the world of fungi and those whose lives intertwine with it.

[title] => Battleground
[text] => Set against 2020’s political and social turbulence, ‘Battleground’ follows three women who lead formidable anti-abortion organizations, tracking them through the most crucial turning point in the history of abortion in nearly 50 years. The film explores how the pro-life movement is using the enormous power they’ve coalesced to drive national policy at the highest levels. From the March for Life to the passing of Justice Ginsburg, to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and the election, this timely feature documentary offers a front row seat on the immense influence abortion has on America’s political battlefield.
[logline] => With rare access to three women who lead formidable anti-abortion organizations, Battleground is a feature documentary depicting how the pro-life movement has emerged as a central force in American politics.
