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.

[title] => A Mother Apart (formerly MITM)
[text] => A Mother Apart follows Staceyann Chin, Brooklyn’s most outspoken poet-activist and reluctant poster-mom for radical Black parenting as she raises her daughter Zuri, while investigating the past of her own mother who abandoned her as an infant.
Haunted by the recovery of a collection of unopened childhood letters addressed to her mother Hazel in Montreal, Staceyann begins an investigation into the past of a woman whose absence has shaped her poetry, politics, and her relationship with her own daughter, Zuri. Every path she takes uncovers shocking revelations about Hazel’s past, sends Staceyann deeper into a web of dismay around her mother’s choice to leave her behind in Jamaica.
While processing what she’s learned about her mother, Staceyann tries to balance the pain she still carries as Hazel’s wounded child and the joy she has for being Zuri’s mother. Excerpts from the mother-daughter duo’s popular web series punctuate intimate vérité snapshots of Staceyann’s unconventional approach to motherhood. The turmoil of Staceyann's life without a mother contrasts with the joy she takes in being a mom.
As the pieces of Hazel’s story come together and fall apart, Staceyann boards a plane to Germany. With Zuri always by her side, the pair travels to Hazel’s nursing home in Cologne, where three generations converge for the first time in nearly a decade. The final vignette speaks poignantly to the complexities of motherhood - Staceyann flanked by the daughter she’s still learning to mother and the mother she’s perhaps still learning to forgive.
[logline] => A Mother Apart (formerly MITM) is part mother-daughter buddy film, part investigative saga that follows Brooklyn's most outspoken poet-activist Staceyann Chin, as she navigates being a mom while discovering the truth about her own mother who abandoned her as an infant.

[title] => Terracotta Daughters
[text] => The story begins in 2012, when Prune Nourry met eight girls in rural Gansu. Collaborating with artisans in Xi’an, she created eight life-sized sculptures based on their portraits, blending their youthful faces with the form of the Terracotta Soldiers. From these originals, 108 unique sculptures were produced. This monumental art project, titled Terracotta Daughters, toured internationally before being buried in a secret location in China in 2015 during a performance entitled Earth Ceremony. The burial was both an artistic act and a symbolic gesture, coinciding with the end of the one-child policy. In 2030, when Chinese demographers predict the country’s gender imbalance will reach its peak, the sculptures will be unearthed, revealing not only fragments of clay but the missing women of a generation.
Since the burial, Prune and her all-female Chinese film crew have returned annually to follow the real lives of the girls. Now young women, their personal stories are intertwined with China’s transformations. The film focuses in particular on four women: Pan, an ambitious pastry maker dreaming of training in France; Huiyun, who struggles between the need to migrate for work and staying close to her elderly grandmother; Jianwei, a rebellious entrepreneur trying to break free from her oppressive adoptive family; and Haoping, newly married, torn between family expectations and her own aspirations. Their lives unfold against the backdrop of seismic events in contemporary China from Xi Jinping’s rise to power to the COVID-19 pandemic, economic shifts, and changing norms around marriage and motherhood.
[logline] => Terracotta Daughters is a feature-length documentary following eight Chinese girls from 2015 to 2030, whose portraits inspired Prune Nourry’s 2012 art installation of 108 sculptures modeled on the Terracotta Army of Xian. At once intimate and political, the film captures their journey from childhood to adulthood.

[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.
[logline] => PERSIS is a documentary film exploring the legacy of the unheralded model-turned-actor Persis Khambatta.

[title] => The Woman Who Poked The Leopard
[text] => The film opens with home footage of Dr. Stella Nyanzi and her children pouring sherry in a crowded apartment in exile. They read the poem that landed Stella in jail. It narrates Museveni’s four-decade reign over Uganda against archival footage. Behind bars, Stella loses an unborn child to torture. When discharged from prison wearing a “fuck oppression” sash, she briefs the press.
Stella undertakes a parliamentary campaign through slums, markets, and trading centers. She connects with Kampala’s working class. People are torn between their faith in her and their religious scorn for her queer allyship. Police besiege her home and she resists them with profanities and her walking cane. Her children accuse her of being unavailable, but Stella does not falter. She wants understanding from those she loves. Her community asks why she doesn’t join Bobi Wine’s party for a sure victory.
Stella loses elections. Her children unhappy, her lover estranged, she remains traumatized. Stella’s parents’ deaths have not been avenged. She turns to family life, but the state still torments her. Resisting another arrest, she burns her parents’ secrets and flees. She leaves her lover behind. In exile, Stella’s activism burgeons. Her children evolve. Stella persists.
[logline] => After a life of radical activism that lands her in jail, Ugandan Queer rights academic and poet Stella Nyanzi runs for parliament. Police brutality and tragedies that follow force her to choose between her children’s safety and the revolution.

[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] => Caribbean Queen
[text] => "Caribbean Queen" is an inspiring short film that follows the journey of Q, a young Caribbean individual in their twenties, who aspires to become the Queen of the West Indian Day Carnival Parade. Despite facing adversity and prejudice from their own family and community, Q remains determined to pursue their dream.
Guided by their supportive genderqueer best friend, Joe, Q creates a breathtaking ensemble befitting of royalty. However, their hopes are shattered when Q's homophobic uncle ruins their costume. Undeterred, Q's indomitable spirit pushes them to find a way to create a brand new look before the Carnival morning inspired by the rich history of New York's queer Carnival scene.

[title] => Two Things Are True
[text] => Filmmaker Sarah Hanssen finds herself in possession of her deceased father’s abstract expressionist paintings. Growing up in his studio, surrounded by the smells of gin and turpentine, ever-shifting canvases, and a string of young girlfriends, the works contain mixed messages of obsession, secrets, freedom, and selfishness. Something doesn’t feel right about displaying these paintings around her home anymore, as if they are haunted objects, holding her back. After a lifetime of suppression, the time has come to confront the secret of sexual abuse. The filmmaker embarks on a journey to paint in what is missing: the tortured artist, nude women, cigarettes, ashtrays, beer cans, gin bottles, various pets, raucous house guests, and herself. The project soon expands to involve collaborations with additional artists, revelations about other women still affected by their relationship with her father, and the destruction of a devastating mythology and healing through collaborative creative expression. Many of these individuals are sharing their own experiences with trauma along the way.

[title] => None of This Matters
[text] => Shaina Feinberg is in the midst of a personal crisis – juggling a flailing film career and the unrelenting demands of motherhood. At her lowest, she seeks out guidance from Joan Darling, an octogenarian director who has retired to Maine. During her first visit, Shaina realizes that Joan has influenced hundreds of artists over the past 60 years; from Mary Tyler Moore to Lesli Linka Glatter (Mad Men, Homeland) and the Daniels (Everything Everywhere All At Once). Shaina films Joan over several years, eventually uncovering Joan's one regret: that she never got to make the book "The Tortilla Curtain" into a film. On the cusp of Joan's 90th birthday, Shaina races against the clock to enlist Joan's past mentees to fulfill this dream.
[logline] => Amidst a personal crisis, filmmaker Shaina Feinberg reaches out to trailblazing director and teacher, Joan Darling. What unfolds over years of filming is an intimate, hilarious portrait of a mentorship, that goes beyond career guidance to become a meaningful friendship and a master class on how to be.

[title] => Untitled Rajie Cook documentary
[text] => Roger Cook is arguably the most influential designer you’ve never heard of.
Reducing visual design to its most fundamental forms, American designer Cook created the symbols by which we navigate airports, train stations, and finding the bathrooms. However, while his work provided way finding to the world, he spent his life unpacking who he was down to his bloodline and his very name, which turned out to be an adaptation of Rajie, a name given to him by his immigrant parents from Palestine and lost early on in the fast adjustment to their new life.
Raised as a Church-going, all American child in NJ, Roger shows a drive for art and design, then an explosive field that leads him to the booming world of Madison Avenue. Ever competitive and fiercely original, he starts his own firm and with his partner, comes up with the universally recognized designs that guide the world.
After a first trip to reconnect with his Palestinian roots, Roger reclaims his name, Rajie. Witnessing the ignored suffering of a people from whom he hails and increasingly identifies with, Rajie finds his mission, to tell the story of his people through his visual art.
Using interviews, archival photos and home videos, recordings, as well as AI to bring Rajie’s work to life, our film retraces the biography of this passionate artist.
[logline] => Rajie Cook designed the visual symbols used to navigate our world, but had to find his own way through his Palestinian identity. As his pioneering designs achieved worldwide acclaim, his visual art confronted the often-ignored suffering of his lineage. Cook's life journey was the arc of a first generation American

[text] => INDÍGENA follows filmmaker Siku Allooloo’s journey as she unearths the legacy of her late mother, Marie-Hélène Laraque, who founded a groundbreaking Indigenous newspaper at the heart of the 1970s American Indian Movement. Siku was 14 when, on her mom’s deathbed, she vowed to one day share her life’s work with the world. This vow that has taken two decades to fulfill. Now carrying her first child, Siku is determined to claim her lost inheritance and share its vital legacy.
Founded in Berkeley, CA, Indígena: News from Indian America centered voices and struggles overlooked by mainstream media, catalyzing a global solidarity network. It amplified the voices of Indigenous women and affirmed the living presence of the Taíno – Indigenous people of the Caribbean who met Christopher Columbus and were later declared extinct. A myth that lived on until Marie-Hélène - a Taíno woman from Haiti - wrote them back into history, sparking the regeneration of her people.
Fifty years later, these hidden histories reawaken as Siku’s search leads her to the Dominican Republic, New York, San Francisco and Northern Canada to connect with her mother’s comrades and key sites of activism. What began as a deeply personal quest evolves into a profound collective journey as Siku unlocks the earliest and most expansive legacies of Indigenous resistance in the Americas – from Taíno resistance in 1492 to the Red Power Movement to today – revealing a vastly interconnected, and women-led, movement for Indigenous liberation.
[logline] => To fulfill her mother’s dying wish, a filmmaker retraces her mother’s work as an activist and journalist during the Red Power Movement of the 1960’s and 70’s, bringing to light 500 years of Taino resistance and igniting her own journey of reclamation.

[text] => Across the globe, a unique group of individuals embrace a monochrome existence, living in a world of a single color — from their clothes to their homes. We follow Levaille, an orange, trans artist pursuing top surgery while navigating strained family relationships; Ali, a pink, autistic, opera singer chasing her pop star dreams in Japan; and Elizabeth, the beloved "Green Lady of Brooklyn," who brightens the lives of all who cross her path. Whimsical, fantastical, quirky, and heartfelt, My Color is a film that asks how we choose to cope with an overwhelming world by showing the nuance, beauty and complexity of people who experience life differently.

[title] => My Name Is Andrea
[text] => My Name Is Andrea, a genre defying film explores the visceral effects of male violence on women’s psyches and bodies through the compelling verbatim writings of radical feminist Andrea Dworkin (1946-2005). The original ‘angry woman’, Dworkin’s experience of male violence was the unflinching compass for her writings. The film is structured around five chapters, each chapter anchored by an archetypal ‘Andrea,’ performed by a diverse cast of actresses- Amandla Stenberg, Soko, Andrea Riseborough, Ashley Judd and Christine Lahti. The film imaginatively interweaves these dramatized personas and compelling archival footage to create an arc of one life as dramatic as the decades in which it unfolded and speaks directly to the #MeToo movement of today.
[logline] => A cinematic evocation of key moments from the life of feminist outlaw Andrea Dworkin, maverick thinker and intellectual genius of the 20th Century. Through innovative use of archival footage and expressionistic dramatizations, the film pushes the creative boundaries of biographical documentary to challenge the current narratives on gendered violence.

[title] => Surf The Wild Woman
[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.
Within every woman is an untamed wild, instinctive creature — a powerful force of passion, creativity, and infinite wisdom.
Her name is Wild Woman.
Five intrepid friends set out on the surfing adventure of a lifetime. Commencing in Australia, they head to California where they gather themselves in preparation for the 3000-mile odyssey from Mexico all the way down the Central American coastline to Panama.
Surf the Wild Woman is a journey of discovery into the wild nature of woman, where each encounter and experience along the way challenges these women to grow through humour and grace, whilst keeping open hearts and minds so that they can become more of who they already are.
Enriching the tapestry of this journey, the women find themselves bumping shoulders with Janne Robinson, Tammi Lynn Kent and other inspiring women who embody the wild woman essence. They hit legendary, as well as local surf locations throughout Central America and beyond, in search of adventure.
[logline] => Surfing is the backdrop, strength is the journey.

[title] => Hope of Escape
[text] => In a film studio, world-weary filmmaker Amy Gerber sets up an interview with her third-great grandmother Diana hoping to find inspiration from her ancestor’s experiences. Diana’s memories flow as she begins to narrate her story and recounts a painful moment of separation from her two other siblings as children. Offspring of their slave master, her sisters are sent to be educated in the North as free black girls.
Unfortunately, Diana has a different father and she is left behind to live the life of a slave with her mother but has the slave master’s promise that she will be freed upon his death. Diana soldiers on, knowing that she and her daughter Cornelia will eventually live in freedom--that someday she will be reunited with her sisters.
The slave master dies, but his surviving kin have other plans for Diana and Cornelia and put out a warrant for their capture. Diana must use all of her resources to avoid the sorrow her mother suffered and keep her promise to Cornelia: that they will not be separated.
Hope of Escape takes the audience through a new chapter of antebellum slavery that depicts the “above-ground railroad” or the raising of money to free enslaved loved ones. A star-studded “cast” of historic characters include abolitionist Julia Williams; famous orator Henry Highland Garnet, and renowned abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Lewis Tappan. Now a rescue effort that involves hundreds of people, the countdown begins for Diana and Cornelia’s escape.
[logline] => A true story that follows the incredible journey of an enslaved mother and daughter who must escape before they are sold and separated forever. Their only hope is to connect with their free relatives in the North and convince the most powerful abolitionists of their time to help them.

[title] => WOMEN OF STEEL
[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.
Wollongong, New South Wales - 1980: Denied jobs at the steelworks — the city’s main employer — working-class/migrant women refused to accept discrimination. They began a campaign for the right to work that lasted for fourteen years. Their battle with BHP, the country’s richest and most powerful company, took them from the factory gate to the highest court in the land and changed the rules for women and men throughout Australia. In Women of Steel, directed by campaign leader Robynne Murphy, they tell their personal stories for the first time on film. The result is an exciting and often humorous tale of how a bunch of ordinary women stuck together and did what no one believed they could do — they subdued a giant!
[logline] => 1980-1994: hundreds of migrant/working-class women campaigned for equality against BHP, the biggest and most powerful company in Australia.

[title] => The In Between
[text] => At the intersection of the northern Mexico desert and the plains of Southwest Texas exists a symbiotic community. Here, people’s lives are spread
across the margins of two countries, connected by a bridge and a river that they all travel. Following a journalist capturing the changing political landscape, a lone crusader promoting international kayaking while the local rag-tag kids splash by the river banks, a mother straddling a life in two countries to keep her family together, and the quotidian moments of the lives lived in between two nations and their cultures, The In Between offers an intimate portrait of a place and its people at the heart of Mexican-American identity.
[logline] => The in Between is a portrait of a unique community that follows the exceptional but very normal lives of the citizens of the sister cities of Eagle Pass, Texas and Piedras Negras, Coahuila along the U.S. / Mexico border, offering an intimate look into the heart of Mexican-American identity.

[title] => Next Generation Sex
[text] => When New Jersey schools unveil an updated sex education curriculum, including lessons for younger kids and LGBTQ+ inclusivity, the backlash is immediate.
As opposing parents and politicians band together to pressure the state to rescind the changes, three high school students - Louie, Mehr and Max - are caught up in the firestorm. They are on a mission to preserve what they believe is a fundamental right of young people - access to critical information on their bodies, gender identity and sexuality. Over the course of the next few years, NEXT GENERATION SEX follows the tenacity and bravery of these three teens: Louie, an aspiring educator who shares his own fears about coming out; Mehr, an outspoken senior working to stop sexual assault and harassment; and Max, a trans student who is unwantedly the focus of the parental rights extremists. Each must navigate discrimination, public vitriol, and their own personal journeys to protect their rights.
Alongside the teenagers, the film also tracks the fury of parental backlash to the new curriculum and opposition to discussions of sex or gender in schools at all. These “parental rights” groups take over school boards, troll educators by calling them “groomers” and pedophiles, and target student activists, while aiming to control what young people are allowed to learn about their own sexuality, bodies, and relationships.
As this battle explodes into a national firestorm, the film reveals the next generation’s fight to break beyond society’s fear and discomfort, to shape what they value in society.
[logline] => What begins as a few local parental rights groups resisting sex education erupts into a national firestorm – revealing deeply personal stories and a larger cultural reckoning. At stake is the critical question: “Do kids have a fundamental right to knowledge about their own bodies and sexuality?”

[title] => Being Olimpia
[text] => Olimpia Coral Melo did not set out to become a feminist icon. The humiliation after her sex-tape went viral, made her want to give up her own name. She spent thirteen years promoting a law against cyber sex violence in Mexico.

[logline] => After creating a groundbreaking law against cyberviolence, Olimpia wages an internal battle to heal her wounds and reclaim her name.
