RAISING MONEY IS OUR STRONGEST FORM OF PROTEST 💪
If you want to make a film that will change the world, you need to know how to pay for it. Turn fundraising from a source of stress into a superpower.
THE STUDIO IX MOTHER PROJECT

NO MOM LEFT BEHIND:
We cover the cost of childcare, help you break in or back in, and (most importantly!) make sure you don’t feel shut out from a career you love while raising or caring for humans.
Women-centered stories to the front
We work to amplify the voices and diverse perspectives of women across platforms. From documentaries, to short films, to TikTok campaigns, we’re here to connect women (and men) to stories told from a markedly female perspective.
To celebrate the complexity and beautiful diversity of women in all their forms. And create space for them in front of and behind the camera.
Sharing is our love language
We're building a collection of tools that work as hard as you do and actually help get films funded and made. See all resources
Let's crash the party 🥳
We're building something new here. Imperfect but in motion. The future of documentary filmmaking isn't a club you need to break into. It's yours to shape, it's ours to build together.
