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] => 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] => Tell Me No Lies: The Real John Pilger
[text] => John Pilger was a journalistic legend. One of the world’s most celebrated foreign correspondents, he made over 60 films, wrote eight best-selling books and thousands of newspaper articles. Over five decades, he broke an endless stream of high-profile stories; from Pol Pot's Cambodia to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, to many, he was an iconic hero. However, to his critics, in government and the press, he was nothing more than a left-wing agitator and distorter of the truth. This feature documentary will tell the definitive and remarkable story of this journalistic icon. Not simply a tribute to a glittering career, but a headlong dive into the controversies and battles that defined him.

[title] => The Gender Project
[text] => The Gender Project (working title, aka “TGP”) will explode perhaps our deepest misperception: that biological sex is neatly binary. This dualistic thinking affects everyone, causing myriad harms ranging from the invisible miasma of strict gender we all breathe to the urgent epidemic of violence against trans women worldwide.
The fundamental structure of TGP is based on the storylines of three scholar-activists who deliver intriguing scientific exposition in a unique and intimate manner. Each of them is as engaged in their social justice activism as their science: Karissa Sanbonmatsu PhD, a trans multiracial structural biologist researching genetic sex development at Los Alamos Labs; Pidgeon Pagonis, a nonbinary intersex activist exploring their Mexican lineage via the pre-colonial history of a third gender in Oaxaca; and Brandon Ogbunu PhD, a straight cis ally evolutionary biologist who contemplates the role race has played in his academic career after he’s pulled over for driving while black. Each explores science that reveals that biological sex is a magnificent spectrum, and that gender is as much a social construct as race is.
Our trio’s dynamic interactions spark the film’s conversational delivery of complex information, revealing how the science of biological sex is as related to social justice as it is to DNA.
[logline] => What defines biological sex — science or society? Through immersion in the lives of people who defy simplistic gender labels, The Gender Project uses bold cinematic language to confront the dichotomy of gender, exploding binary myths with scientific, historical, and cultural revelations.

[title] => DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE
[text] => Punctuated by the sharp and witty political commentary of Pulitzer-prize winning editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes (Washington Post) from her bird’s eye view in the cat seat of the United States capital, Washington D.C., top political analysts lay bare the complex history and challenges of the world’s most influential political system. Oscar-nominated Director Laura Nix trains her insightful lens on one of American democracy’s most extreme and vital moments in its nearly 250 years of existence. The film connects present-day crises with their roots in American history via commentary with A-list political observers who explore executive overreach, a crisis in judicial ethics, and a media environment saturated with disinformation, as the country grapples with fundamental challenges that transcend individual presidencies. With innovative dark humor, the film examines how the promise of American multiracial democracy faces a renewed backlash, culminating in fears of an actual authoritarian takeover.
Can the nation preserve its democratic ideals amidst severe polarization and a political party which has embraced extremism?

[title] => Good Fire
[text] => Storyteller, director, and writer, Roni Jo Draper will guide viewers through the complex story of fire that has been in the making since 1849 when the early settlers entered Yurok territory from the eastern parts of the United States.
Roni, a Yurok tribal member, will weave together three stories: the story of how fire came to the people as a tool and as medicine, how settlers sought to separate the people and land by extinguishing fire, and how the people worked to return fire to the land.
The story is framed by the retelling of how Coyote gathered the peoples of the forest–Eagle, Osprey, Deer, Beaver, and even Frog–to steal fire. The people used fire as a tool to warm themselves, prepare meals, and to purify the land. With fire as medicine for the land, the land thrived.
Roni will also provide an Indigenous telling of how settlers sought to steal fire from the Indigenous peoples of the Klamath River. Over one hundred years later, cultural fire practitioners in this region navigated through miles of bureaucracy in order to ease the state and federal restrictions surrounding fire and are among the first Indigenous peoples of North America to legally burn. State and Federal agencies are looking to Indigenous peoples, in particular Klamath Tribes, to unlock fire’s potential to protect forests from large forest fires that have threatened the land in California and throughout the world.

[text] => In her first feature film, Katy Scoggin returns to her childhood home to reconnect to her religious father. He has spent decades refuting the theory of evolution, while she has embraced science since her college days.
Katy encounters her father at a turning point: her sister’s family is moving, and her parents plan to follow. The household goes into upheaval with the packing of home videos, class notes, and old Bibles. Through these relics, Katy sees how all of her family members' beliefs have changed--except for her father's.
Thus a rift widens, and a dramatic question emerges: How do you stick together as a family if your beliefs have grown worlds apart?
[logline] => Katy returns to her childhood home to attempt to reconnect to her evangelical father, years after leaving the Christian faith. What could possibly go wrong?

[text] => YANG AI YUN, a retired schoolteacher turned firebrand activist, lays her life on the line to expose a nationwide theft ring that sends thousands of stolen pets to slaughterhouses. An undercover investigation leads her to the man behind the criminal enterprise - a well-respected entrepreneur. Meanwhile, activists allied with pet owners pressure officials to enact China’s first animal protection law. Their efforts are met with resistance from a powerful business lobby. Events culminate in a showdown inside a province bordering Vietnam, when poachers catch wind of Yang's animal sanctuary. With law enforcement turning a blind eye, they plan an ambush in broad daylight.
[logline] => YANG, an idealistic schoolteacher, is on a mission to stop the slaughtering of dogs in provinces where canine consumption is glorified as a cultural tradition. While a contentious animal protection law makes its way through the courts, she investigates with steely determination why countless pets are disappearing from their homes.

[title] => Gowanus Current
[text] => A century and a half of industrial waste and raw sewage has turned Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal into one of the nation’s most toxic bodies of water. Squeezed between some of the borough’s most expensive brownstone neighborhoods, neglected public housing, row houses and small manufacturing have long dotted its sludgy banks. However, an ambitious EPA Superfund cleanup and a massive rezoning plan by the city hint that the real changes are just beginning.
Shot over the course of eight years, Gowanus Current explores the textures of this unique part of the city and the passions and hopes of stakeholders fighting for its future. The film listens in on contentious community meetings and sidewalk conversations, revisiting familiar corners over the years as warehouses come down and glass towers rise up to join the Brooklyn skyline. Ultimately, this film is a window into the conversations and convictions of the community, paired with representations of the rhythms and aesthetic of the place to create a kind of civic cinema.
Gowanus Current employs an observational approach to the people and events in the film, unmediated by interviews, narration or text, and combines it with tone poem meditations focused on texture and a sense of place. These are woven together into an evocative portrait of the community. Our goal is to employ an indirect, intuitive style to create something artful and unique.
[logline] => Gowanus Current is a documentary feature film about a neighborhood asking what is truly valuable in their community, and who gets to decide.

[title] => Acting Like Women
[text] => ACTING LIKE WOMEN is a feature-length documentary about feminist performance art in 1970s-80s Los Angeles. The story is told through the lens of Cheri Gaulke, director and respected performance artist, who at age 21 packed up her rusty Volvo and left the Midwest for the Woman’s Building where groundbreaking new art forms and practices were erupting – ritual, collaboration, social engagement, art as activism, and media intervention. Gaulke's directorial voice builds an intimate narrative where art intersects life as she conjures the spirit of ephemeral art through storytelling and animation. But this is not only her story – it is the herstory of many.
The film reveals an explosive time of change, rich with fascinating artists who understood the “personal is political,” and how art can transform culture. Performance artists were addressing violence against women, body image, rape, spirituality, working, motherhood, and sexuality as their art broke free of the limits of traditional art institutions to effect societal change.
Women today are facing an erosion of many of the rights we fought for in the 1970s and 80s. This film reveals the innovative strategies artists used to inspire today's activism. Many of the artists involved are now in their 60s-90s and some have passed away. This film captures key voices still alive and mentoring a new generation. Now is the time to tell this story before these voices disappear!
[logline] => In 1973, women artists flocked to the Woman’s Building in L.A. – a birthplace for innovative, fearless, and still-relevant feminist performance art that laid a foundation for today’s art and social justice movements. ACTING LIKE WOMEN is a journey into art, activism, and gender told by those who lived it.

[title] => LEE: We Are Our Times
[text] => 1970s NYC was a city in crisis. From the ashes of its lawless streets sprang an art movement that would resonate around the world. ‘Graffiti’ covered the subway trains, instigated by teenagers, who felt they had no voice. They were hunted and criminalized. Yet buoyed by their impact on the city, they pushed forward with their urgent messages.
Lee Quiñones, grew up on the Lower East Side. From a very young age, he knew he was an artist. He overcame challenging circumstances as the city’s neglect brought drugs, AIDS, and devastating loss to his Puerto Rican neighborhood.
Starting at age 13, Lee stole into the tunnels and painted trains. He was on the MTA’s most wanted list by age 16. Millions of people witnessed his cars. Lee understood his power to reach an audience and felt his paintings were a gift of New York City. Lee, always the activist philosopher, painted his city bright, bold, and full of ideas and imagination. By 1981, Lee was celebrated in museums and European galleries, becoming one of the most acclaimed NYC street artists, a pioneer in the genesis of hip-hop culture.
Lee is not only an artist but a teacher, storyteller and instigator. This is a story about his life as an artist, the Puerto Rican community he was nurtured by and his incredible journey from the streets into the fine art world.
The film will explore his continuing impact on young people and the international street art movement.
[logline] => Raised in a Lower East Side NYC project, Lee Quiñones’ urgency and need to express himself drove him to become one of the greatest artists to emerge from the 70s/80’s graffiti movement.

[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.

[text] => Born in 1930 and raised in suburban Portland, Walter Cole went to war, married his high school sweetheart, had two children, and then, at age 37, put on a dress and became Darcelle XV. In the 1970s, Walter opened Darcelle XV’s Showplace, now the longest running drag show in America. Until her passing in 2023, Darcelle was the World’s Oldest Performing Drag Queen, working until the day she died at 92 – with her bedazzled walker in hand, and even a rendition of Rhinestone Cowboy, assless chaps and all. DARCELLE is the story of a single life. But it’s also the story of how tenacity and bravery in the face of unrelenting prejudice, changed lives and opportunities for generations to come. In the style of films like Ask Dr. Ruth and RBG, DARCELLE is a biopic that goes beyond the cover story and gives viewers a chance to witness the impact of a living legend. Filmed over the course of the last three years of Walter Cole/Darcelle's life and featuring hundreds of hours of never-before-seen performance footage and home movies from Walter/Darcelle’s life stretching back to the 1970s, DARCELLE is an intimate portrait of an exceptional life, lived with each of us in mind.

[title] => The Prison Outside
[text] => Arrested at 16 for robbery and sentenced to life without parole, Terrence Graham fought his way to the Supreme Court and won a chance at freedom. In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled in Graham v. Florida that children convicted of crimes other than murder could not be sentenced to life without the chance of parole. The decision changed sentencing of young people across the country and Terrence himself was re-sentenced: he wouldn’t die in prison. But even as thousands of people were released off his case, Terrence remained locked up for 20 years. It wasn’t until February 15, 2024, that Terrence Graham walked out of the Duval County Jail at 37 years old.
THE PRISON OUTSIDE is an autobiographical film about Terrence’s next chapter. It’s about the freedom he won in Graham v. Florida and the freedom he still does not have.
On strict probation, Terrence has to complete two years of house arrest and GPS monitoring while finding his footing in a world he has never experienced as an adult. Any mistake could send him back to prison.
Success not only requires Terrence to make it through probation—he also has to mature into adulthood, revisiting memories of childhood and incarceration to unlock the freedom he fought so hard to get.
Borrowing extensively from the visual language and storytelling devices of narrative film, THE PRISON OUTSIDE seeks to immerse audiences in the intimate, everyday experiences of what the prison system does to people and families impacted by the carceral state—one in every two families in America. The film puts a magnifying glass up to the little moments of freedom that Terrence and his family experience so we can all savor their joy. And it cuts through those moments with the very real fear and oppression they continue to face while he is on probation. Through Terrence’s story, told in his words, from his perspective, this film makes the case that the chance of freedom should never be taken from a young person, showing how the rules of probation, house arrest, and ankle monitors can create a prison in the free world.
[logline] => Sentenced to life for crimes committed as a child, Terrence Graham fought his case all the way to the Supreme Court and won, transforming the nation's juvenile justice system. After 21 years, he's finally getting out - but is life outside just another prison?

[title] => The Milky Sea
[text] => For centuries, sailors told fantastic tales of nighttime seas glowing ghostly white from horizon to horizon. Mariners called the strange phenomenon the “milky sea;” milky seas are even featured in the novels 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Moby Dick. While they may seem mythic, milky seas are in fact real, but scientists know virtually nothing about them because they are so difficult to find. But now, a scientist named Steve Miller has figured out how to spot milky seas using a novel method: satellites.
The feature-length documentary film ‘The Milky Sea,’ directed by Sharon Shattuck and produced by Ian Cheney, is the definitive chronicle of a rare glowing ocean phenomenon that is truly stranger-than-fiction. We’ll document stunning research breakthroughs and frustrating near-misses as Steve criss-crosses the world, assembling an international team of collaborators including scientists, historians, eyewitnesses, and Indigenous fishermen who work together to decipher the milky sea phenomenon. As the film unfolds, it becomes clear that Steve’s interest has gone far beyond the polite curiosity of a professional scientist; milky seas have become his mission. His obsession. His white whale. Steve’s ultimate goal? To deploy to a milky sea, study and capture it on film for the first time, and maybe even dive in. No one on the planet is better positioned to make this dream a reality than Steve himself.

[title] => Coming Home: Fight for a Legacy
[text] => Coming Home: Fight for a Legacy is a ground-breaking documentary that tells the story of the daring women who performed heroically in the US military’s first all–female Air Force program, called the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). When Congress suddenly disbanded the program in 1944, and banned women pilots from the military in 1948, these female pilots were effectively erased from history. In the 1970s they fought for recognition and achieved veteran status, but when one of them passed away and is denied burial in Arlington National Cemetery in 2016, these WASP veterans realized the fight for their legacy continued, even in death. Coming Home: Fight for a Legacy is the first feature length film documentary about the WASP and demonstrates the power of elder women as they make one last push to reclaim their rightful place in history.
Coming Home also features the African American women pilots who flew at Tuskegee, as they were denied entry into the WASP due to the segregation of the U.S. military at that time. Included in the film is a never-before-seen interview with Mildred Hemmons Carter, who was awarded WASP status in 2011, shortly before her death. Consulting and interviewing historians, military historians, aviation experts, and journalists, Coming Home: Fight for a Legacy will address the contribution of women to aviation, how race and gender impacted the experiences of these WWII pilots, and why remembering this history is important today.
