Women Make Movies is a non-profit, multi-cultural media arts service organization which facilitates the production, promotion, distribution and exhibition of independent films and videotapes by and about women. Founded in 1972 to address the under-representation and misrepresentation of women in the media, Women Make Movies operates an internationally recognized Distribution Service and Production Assistance Program. Our distribution collection contains over 500 films and videotapes by and about women which is uniquely curated with our mission of increasing the visibility of women's films and videos, with a specific emphasis on representing women of color and experiences from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our Production Assistance Program is the mechanism by which we assist women filmmakers in production through professional development workshops, fiscal sponsorship, and information services.
