Film As Resistance: Join the Producers Circle for the Producers Circle 

When legislation targets QTBIPOC lives, experiences, and stories, film becomes our most powerful tool of resistance.

For 25 years, QWOCMAP has transformed filmmaking—historically art's most expensive medium—into a tool for liberation. No other organization combines free filmmaker training, exhibition, and distribution specifically for LBTQIA+ BIPOC creators with a deep commitment to disability justice and accessibility.

We recently lost $500,000 in already awarded funding that would have supported our Critical Juncture program for Black queer and trans filmmakers and our QTWork Apprenticeship program. As arts funding is dismantled at all levels and corporations retreat from supporting queer content, QWOCMAP's independent, community-centered approach becomes necessary for survival.

In the film world, producers create ecosystems that make stories possible. By becoming a Producer through our Producers Circle, you're making an investment in collective resilience that can withstand political shifts and funding challenges.

Our goal is to raise $75,000 by June 30 to ensure QWOCMAP can continue this essential work through our 25th anniversary year and beyond.

When they say we shouldn't exist, we make films that document our joy. When they try to erase our histories, we create archives of our resistance. When they cut funding for our stories, we build our own pathways to create.
