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.

[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] => Taking Venice
[text] => At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. government is determined to fight Communism with culture. The Venice Biennale, the world’s most influential art exhibition, becomes a proving ground in 1964. Alice Denney, Washington insider and friend of the Kennedys, recommends Alan Solomon, an ambitious curator making waves with trailblazing art, to organize the U.S. entry. Together with Leo Castelli, a powerful New York art dealer, they embark on a daring plan to make Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize. The artist is yet to be taken seriously with his combinations of junk off the street and images from pop culture, but he has the potential to dazzle. Deftly pulling off maneuvers that could have come from a Hollywood thriller, the American team leaves the international press crying foul and Rauschenberg questioning the politics of nationalism that sent him there.
[logline] => TAKING VENICE uncovers the true story behind rumors that the U.S. government and a team of high-placed insiders rigged the 1964 Venice Biennale – the Olympics of art – so their chosen artist, Robert Rauschenberg, could win the Grand Prize.

[title] => Unlocked aka Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution
[text] => The vivid and deeply personal stories at the heart of "Unlocked" have not been heard before. Because of the power and diversity of these stories, we believe Unlocked has the authenticity and breadth of vision to inspire the deep shift in values and attitudes needed to realize a healthcare system rooted in principles of recovery.
Accounts are shared from very different perspectives. Former patients, people of lived experience, peers, family members, direct care staff, clinicians, administrators, inmates, law enforcement, and corrections personnel share markedly different realities. Seen together, these varied points of view provide an overview that supports better understanding and open dialogue. Even the most painful stories offer hope.
Since the release of "Kings Park" in 2012, we have seen over and over the power of putting a human face on the story of public mental healthcare. The response to our screenings nationwide has been overwhelmingly positive and equally passionate in colleges, hospitals, peer organizations, national conferences, jails, provider settings, and advocacy groups.
With the help of a generous grant from The Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care we have completed a project prototype consisting of:
• A sample 2-part Video Curriculum which includes including featured videos of personal stories, topic essays and other teaching resources;
• A sample Video Library of viewable and searchable clips of uncut documentary scenes and interviews;
• Streaming access to the documentary "Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution."
We are now seeking funds to complete the digital learning site.
[logline] => "Unlocked" is a groundbreaking digital learning site created for people going into healthcare and professionals already working in the field. Building on the success of the "Kings Park" documentary, "Unlocked" features a wealth of personal stories with individuals who have experienced the U.S. mental healthcare system firsthand.

[title] => Hasta Siempre - Until Forever
[text] => Since she could walk, Estefanie has donned the insignia of the nonviolent resistance movement that defines her life – red and green for blood and land. Growing up in the most dangerous country in the world for environmental defenders, her mom, Alicia, raised her as the first child to participate in the Indigenous guard, the grassroots force protecting their territory from armed groups seeking control. Her gleeful imagination prevails against a ceaseless war. As Estefanie grows up from age 6-13, she develops a deeper understanding of the violence that shapes her childhood. We began filming in early 2018 as armed conflict was returning to their territory in Cauca with the failed promise of Colombia’s historic peace accord. Assassinations of social leaders exploded, and members of the guard became targets like never before. At age seven, Estefanie witnessed the aftermath of a massacre that killed five members of the guard from their community. Alicia, facing death threats like every other leader from their movement, was forced to grapple with a profound question as a mother: prioritize her and her daughter’s safety, or remain committed to the Indigenous Guard and teach young Estefanie the courage of seeing one’s life as inherently bound to the collective. A feminine portrait of war and resilience through the prism of motherhood, the documentary shows the relational forces that hold people together for a cause, bound to an ancestral struggle "until forever."
[logline] => Growing up in one of the most powerful nonviolent land-defense movements in the world, a young Indigenous girl, Estefanie, absorbs the struggle of her people to protect their territory in war-torn Colombia. As violence resurges and Estefanie witnesses the deaths of many of their leaders, her mom must teach her.

[title] => Coexistence, My Ass!
[text] => COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! follows activist-comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi as she creates a comedy show by the same name. Shot over five tumultuous years, the film traces Noam’s personal, professional and political journey in tandem with the region’s steady deterioration. Raised in a bilingual Israeli-Palestinian village — the only intentionally integrated community in the country — Noam grows disillusioned with traditional peace activism. She pivots to stand-up and quickly attracts attention across the Middle East. But as her star rises, everything around her falls apart. With biting satire, Noam pushes her audiences to face difficult truths that aren't always funny but do remind us that another reality is possible.
[logline] => Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging people with hard truths that are no laughing matter.

Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging people with hard truths that are no laughing matter.

[title] => Work While You Have the Light
[text] => In American culture, when women age, there is an antiquated expectation that they will eventually stop actively participating in culture and society. A working woman over seventy is rarely seen by society--unlike her male counterparts who are revered with age. This general societal assumption must be updated.
There are 76 million baby-boomers and over half of them are women who are in the process of creating a new model for being an older woman. We are in a new age, and the paradigm is shifting. Women are working into their nineties with tenacity and clear minds. Work While You Have the Light exposes the true narrative of aging women by following passionate, curious, fierce and courageous women who are not stopping because of their age.
Work While You Have the Light is for women of all ages to be inspired to not fear age, but rather welcome the opportunity to become fully themselves. The film follows eight women over seventy throughout a year’s time who are working in different capacities throughout the United States--an Artist, Writer, Doctor, Teacher, Television/Radio Producer, Singer, Museum Director, and CEO.
[logline] => Work While You Have the Light is a feature documentary by a multi-generational directing team that examines professional women who are over seventy-years-old and still working.

[title] => The Endless Frontier
[text] => THE ENDLESS FRONTIER immerses us in the lives of three passionate scientists (from Princeton University, University of Utah, and UCLA), each dedicating their lives to researching solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges, from improving human health to solving the climate crisis.
Today is a dangerous time for science, however, and like all researchers, they work in environments where competition for resources is fierce and where their focus is constantly directed away from science to survival. Recent federal funding cuts have intensified this crisis, threatening the future of scientific research in America.
This new documentary exposes the realities of the American scientific research system and the ways scientists are pushing back against that system to improve life for the rest of us.
[logline] => THE ENDLESS FRONTIER follows four passionate researchers hunting for cures and protecting the planet from disaster, when they unexpectedly find themselves on the frontlines in the fight for the future of science itself.

[title] => Qatar Stars
[text] => Qatar Stars is the first feature documentary about girls in Qatar. It profiles a Doha rhythmic gymnastics school for girls aged 9-15, in a coming-of-age story spanning several years. Through the eyes of a multi-national group of girls and their charismatic coach, we witness the wonder and complications of girlhood in a rapidly shifting, and sometimes contradictory, contemporary Middle East.
Girls from Qatar, Lebanon, Egypt, UK, and Ukraine comprise the school’s “Professional Team”. Envisioned by Russian former rhythmic gymnast Tatiana (28), her Bangladeshi husband Manzoor (30), and Qatar investor Haya (late 30’s), their school is dedicated to girls’ development and opportunity.
Qatar Stars is an intimate four-year story of friendship, athletic aspiration, societal expectation, and political complication. The girls grow up onscreen. When their lives take dramatic, unexpected paths they become closer – ultimately proclaiming themselves “more a family than a team”. Meanwhile, exacting coach Tatiana experiences her own personal and professional evolution.
The gymnastics school is a surprising microcosm for the population of Qatar, a country of 88% expats co-existing alongside 12% Qatari nationals, but not really interacting. The school brings disparate nationalities together, through sport.
[logline] => Qatar Stars presents a four-year story of girlhood in all its joys and growing pains, through intimate access to a multinational rhythmic gymnastics school in Doha Qatar, led by a former Russian gymnast.

[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?

[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] => Jennifer, 42
[text] => On August 23, 2007, Jennifer Magnano was murdered in front of her children by her newly divorced husband. He shot her in the face and chest on the front stoop of the family home. JENNIFER, 42 is not a whodunnit, it's not a mystery where we search for clues and evidence of guilt or innocence. We know who the murderer is. We know Scott Magnano pulled the trigger. But how did it get to this? After enduring 15 years of extreme coercive control and escalating violence at the hands of husband Scott, Jennifer made a clever plan, and with the help of her best friend, she and the children made a dramatic getaway. But their escape only marked the beginning of a bizarre and hair-raising journey through a system that could not...or WOULD not protect her. In a series of shocking events and baffling acts by various authorities, Jennifer’s life turned into a life-and-death game that she couldn't win.
While the details of Jennifer’s twisty-turny story are unbelievable and devastating, they are anything but unique. Like clockwork, 16 hours from now there will be another domestic violence homicide. Another woman, somewhere in this country, will be killed by her partner. Jennifer may be gone, but her story lives on and the fight continues. We must do better for victims of domestic violence.
[logline] => Based on a real case, JENNIFER, 42 tells the harrowing true story of the life and murder of Jennifer Magnano. Voiced by her three children, and told through animation, JENNIFER, 42 reveals the true nature of domestic violence and a woman's life and death battle for freedom.

[title] => How To Power A City
[text] => My documentaries focus on social issue stories and have generated critical acclaim and applause at film festivals. My new documentary "How To Power A City,” releases soon. On the long road to releasing the feature documentary, several short films from “How To Power A City” have screened around the world. One — "Solar Libre: Family Affair" — won The Director’s Award, Best Short Puerto Rico Documentary, at the 2019 Rincón International Film Festival in Puerto Rico. Others screened at film festivals in Toronto, Melbourne, San Francisco, Detroit, New York City, and several other places.
In 2022 I was honored to be selected as a Public Voices Fellow on the Climate Crisis, a fellowship collaboration with the OpEd Project and Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.
My other films include “The Poetry Deal: a film with Diane di Prima” (2011), which was embraced by di Prima’s fan base as a rare glimpse into this avant-garde poet’s storied life. It remains the only documentary solely focused on the life and work of this legendary poet, who passed away in October 2020. In 2022, “The Poetry Deal” begins airing on PBS and public television stations across the U.S., and within a few months broadcast literally coast-to-coast - from Alaska to Hawaii and New York To California. My first film, “Sir: Just A Normal Guy” (2001), was released to acclaim at LGBTQ festivals and events internationally, and received as a sensitive first-person portrait of a widely misunderstood area of human experience. Both “Sir” and “The Poetry Deal” were used widely in educational settings and are in the permanent collections of the nation’s most prestigious universities.

[title] => Anything You Lose
[text] => Spanning seven years of cinema vérité surveillance, ANYTHING YOU LOSE is a feature documentary focusing on a little known and fast growing sector of society - those who are trying to conceive with the aid of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). A personal exploration, it studies the psychological effects of prolonged exposure to the treatments and the innate human need to connect through time and generations. 7.5 million people domestically struggle to conceive through ART. Odds are, you know someone who’s going through the treatments. And odds are, they haven’t told you.
Gutsy and original, the hybrid documentary ANYTHING YOU LOSE takes on the unconventional subject of infertility and elevates it to the heights of cinema vérité drama. The informational field we live in is abundant with stories of scientific breakthroughs and babies born to women in their fifties. But the reality of the experience is frequently quite different. For every miracle announcement there are decades of trial and failure. What’s kept behind the scenes in most scenarios becomes the precious bloodline of this story. For the late bloomers Eddie and Irina, to have a child means to seal their union and to join in the ranks of the responsible adults, somewhat reluctantly, to the delight of their families. But when Assisted Reproductive Technologies do not deliver as surely as advertised, the quest becomes a matter of importance; demanding time, emotional maturity, stealthy focus and resources.
ANYTHING YOU LOSE speaks volumes about reaching into the depths of self for added strength.

[title] => The Rabbis' Intifada
[text] => American filmmaker Heather Tenzer embarks on a journey to find out why a group of devout New York and Jerusalem rabbis are engaged in an intifada (Arabic for ‘uprising’) against Israel and in support of Palestinians.
Founded 80 years ago in Jerusalem, Neturei Karta is the only religious Jewish group publicly speaking out in support of Palestinian rights. As a result of their activism, they’re regularly beaten on the streets.
This feature-length documentary, equal parts memoir, investigative, and historical, combines narration, home movies, interviews, and archival films to tell the story of Tenzer’s journey into Neturei Karta’s community.
Tenzer first encounters Neturei Karta when she is a teen marching in New York’s Israel Parade. “Free Palestine!” they chant. “Just ignore them!” the rabbi of her school urges. For many years, she does.
Tenzer reunites with Neturei Karta years later in Jerusalem. What’s motivating these socially conservative Yiddish-speaking religious men to protest Israel’s bombing of Gaza?” she wonders. Intrigued, she attempts to unravel the mystery of their activism, where it comes from – a story she never learned in religious school.
She follows four activists inside their Jerusalem and New York communities and on their travels to Gaza. Through the lens of their diverse, intergenerational voices, the rabbis share compelling stories, offering a nuanced narrative about their unique history.

[title] => One Night in Tantura
[text] => As Palestinian filmmaker Hala Gabriel grew up in America to refugee parents, trying to assimilate into American society, the questions about her birthplace as well as that of her parents became more persistent. The result of those questions is a thirteen-year journey of documentation and discovery, that led to the production of One Night in Tantura, named after her family’s village in Palestine.
Hala’s family and former neighbours from Tantura paint a picture of a beautiful village with good relations with their Jewish neighbours which nonetheless was attacked. She confronts the commanders of the Israeli force that occupied Tantura and who candidly admit to killing over seventy people before expelling everyone else. She hears painful stories about massacres, mass graves, and internment camps where her father (aged fifteen at the time) and others found themselves for months at the start of a journey of being stateless which has transcended multiple generations to this day.
The Israeli narrative for the establishment of the state conveniently neglects to mention the Palestinian people, to the extent of saying Palestine was a land without people for a people without a land. Through the story told by survivors of one coastal village, this film dispels that narrative.
[logline] => Director, Hala Gabriel, a Palestinian refugee from Syria, uncovers the hidden story of internment camps, massacres, cover-ups and atrocities from victims and perpetrators in a journey of exploration to understand why she was born a refugee.

[title] => Anarchy in High Heels
[text] => The idea of Les Nickelettes was hatched as a ‘70s vaudeville act at the People’s Nickelodeon, a midnight movie series that ran after-hours at the Mitchell Brother’s O’Farrell Theater. A pornographic film venue was an unlikely beginning for a feminist theater company but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Les Nickelettes evolved into a brazen women’s lib troupe whose members wrote, produced, and performed original skits, stunts, and musical comedy theater in San Francisco for thirteen years. Anarchy in High Heels addresses the neglected topics of comedy’s role in feminism and the power that arises when women bond together through a shared sense of humor. We seek to disrupt the narrative that second-wave feminism was humorless, and bring to light its satirical, bawdy side as embodied by Les Nickelettes. For Millennial and Gen Z women, this may come as a surprise and serve as a connection between second-wave feminism and today’s burlesque, drag strip shows, gender fluid identities and comedy as a political statement. According to Ellin Stein, author of That’s Not Funny, That’s Sick: The National Lampoon and the Comedy Insurgents Who Captured the Mainstream, Les Nickelettes “served notice that women could be outspoken, raunchy, and above all, funny.” They were part of the tumultuous countercultural adventure that began in San Francisco in the late ‘60s and took the country by storm. Anarchy in High Heels is a snapshot of that unique era.
[logline] => Anarchy in High Heels tells the story of Les Nickelettes, a women’s satirical musical theater company from 1970s and ‘80s San Francisco. They turned the patriarchy upside down with feminist humor and a spirit of collaboration. The film is a reminder of the subversive power of satire and sisterhood.
