About working with QWOCMAP Productions

Every project starts with a conversation to understand your story, audience, and goals. From there, we move through concept and story development, filming and production, editing and sound, and final delivery, staying in close collaboration with you at each stage. Timelines vary by project scope and length: short-form work like PSAs, testimonials, and event documentation can run a few weeks to a few months, while longer-form films take much longer. We'll scope a realistic timeline with you at the start.
Our clients include nonprofits, foundations, arts organizations, and individual artists. Past clients include Funders for Immigrant and Refugee Issues, San Francisco Women Against Rape, and the 7th Generation Fund for Indian Development.
We produce films, PSAs, training videos, testimonials, documentation of events and organizational milestones, sample work for filmmakers, and short-form media for campaigns. Our work ranges from full-service films (concept through final delivery) to specific production services within a larger project.

What Our Community Says
Hear how QWOCMAP's trainings and festivals transform LBTQIA+ BIPOC filmmakers, audiences, and communities.
Kristin Wygal
Filmmaker
QWOCMAP gives communities of people that do not typically have a voice in mainstream media a chance to find their voice and be heard. QWOCMAP opens doors. And those of us that have somehow managed to be so lucky to make it in are opening up more doors.
Candy Guinea
Filmmaker
I recently became a recipient of a Princess Grace Award in Film and I think that has so much to do with how QWOCMAP is able to shape artists and lmmakers to tell their own truth and to believe in their work. Those are very powerful lessons to learn.
Christine Liang
Filmmaker
Having had that community of queer women of color filmmakers has been the foundation of my resolve to face the sexist, racist, and homophobic perspectives of the larger filmmaking community. It is very easy to become lost within the confines of one’s present world, and I always think back to QWOCMAP to find my way back to me.
