About the company
Women Make Movies is a woman-owned, non-profit organization based in New York City that specializes in supporting independent documentary filmmaking and distribution. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2005, the organization focuses on advancing diverse narratives and providing resources for independent filmmakers, with a particular emphasis on supporting women directors and marginalized storytellers. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, Women Make Movies has established itself as a critical conduit for independent documentary production and professional development in the film industry.
Through federal grant awards primarily from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Women Make Movies has supported numerous documentary film projects exploring complex social, historical, and cultural themes. These projects include documentaries such as "Diego & Frida in Detroit", which examines the artistic legacy of Rivera and Kahlo in 1930s Detroit; "Coming Home: Fight for a Legacy", chronicling the stories of Women Airforce Service Pilots and Black female pilots during World War II; "Instrumental: The Elayne Jones Story", focusing on a pioneering African American classical musician; and "Jamaica Kincaid: Liberating the Daffodil", which explores the life of the Caribbean writer. The organization has consistently received project grants ranging from supporting artistic and professional development resources for independent filmmakers to funding specific documentary productions. These grants, typically ranging from $500,000 to $635,000, enable Women Make Movies to produce critically important documentaries that illuminate underrepresented narratives and contribute to broader cultural understanding.
