We are looking for well made one offs, series and feature docs that make audiences laugh, cry, fall in love and learn something.

For brilliant, inventive, intelligent filmmaking with a strong handwriting and storytelling.

We are curious about voices from filmmakers and as subjects (BIPoC, womxn and other disenfranchised members of the global society), from an intersectional feminist perspective. And always about new stories as such.

Any project from anywhere can be submitted by a production company in any part of its process, in English.

We are independent and free in our decision. Sums to be invested can vary, as equity in projects with some moderate seed money or as gap financing.

For film projects, one offs, series, features or online stories, please fill out our submission form here.
