Our Story

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR Women in Film.

Woman Made Films started as a TikTok account with a simple mission: encourage people to watch more films made by women. What began as a passion project is growing into something much bigger — a podcast, a film festival, a foundation, and eventually a production studio.

The goal is simple: a world where women can make their films, and where those films are watched, celebrated, and supported.
