THE STUDIO IX MOTHER PROJECT 🎥

THE STUDIO IX MOTHER PROJECT 🎥

Grants, resources, and community to help moms and caregivers break in, stay in, and thrive in the doc film industry

Having children shouldn’t exclude you from your dreams

But right now, it does.

Being a mom or caregiver in the film industry can feel impossible. Discriminatory work hours. Zero federal paid leave. Bias and loss of work opportunities.

We’re working to create a better way and to provide support to moms and caregivers by helping you:

GET YOUR FILM MADE & SEEN

BREAK IN (OR BACK IN) AND BUILD A PROFITABLE CAREER

CONNECT WITH PEOPLE WHO GET WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH

We know how impossible it can feel. We’ve been there too. Extra support makes a world of difference.

💰 More than $30,000 in grants already awarded to moms/caregivers

🎥 Growing partnerships with film festivals to support childcare and mom-friendly spaces

🫂 Network of moms and caregivers from across the industry sharing resources

CHILDCARE GRANTS

The Studio IX Mother Project Grants are our signature grants, designed to help cover the cost of childcare when a filmmaker needs to go on a shoot, focus on an edit, or anything else to get their film across the finish line.

RESOURCES

If you’re feeling stuck, left out, or like you’re falling behind, you’re not alone. We see you and we’ve been there too.

We’re working to build resources that help you feel more in control. We focus on teaching filmmakers how to think like an entrepreneur to break in (or back in) to the industry and build a sustainable career.

We want to help you create the work and career you want. No trust fund or gatekeeper approval required.
