About Me


Established in 1972 to address the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of women in the media industry, Women Make Movies is a multicultural, multiracial, non-profit media arts organization which facilitates the production, promotion, distribution and exhibition of independent films and videos by and about women.
The organization provides services to both users and makers of film and video programs, with a special emphasis on supporting work by women of color. Women Make Movies facilitates the development of feminist media through an internationally recognized Distribution Service and a Production Assistance Program.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICE
Women Make Movies distribution service seeks to expand the public's exposure to independent film and videos that are directed by women, and whose content is about women and the issues that affect their lives. Our collection of more than 500 films includes award-winning works by both established and emerging independent media makers all over the world, and explore an incredible range of timely, important and global topics.

PRODUCTION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Women Make Movies also offers a unique Production Assistance Program which provides fiscal sponsorship, low-cost media workshops and information services to independent media artists.
