We’re finding, funding and supporting the next generation of leaders in film.
It’s no secret there’s a major gender disparity in film & media.
We’re helping underrepresented filmmakers break in & thrive.
Studio IX is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working to equip women and non-binary nonfiction filmmakers with the resources, confidence, and funding needed to break into the industry and build a sustainable career.
We’re creating the films we want to see.
How we’re making change today:
INTRODUCING: THE STUDIO IX MOTHER PROJECT
In response to the needs of our community, especially in the times of COVID, we launched a new grant designed to help working moms stay in the game by covering the cost of childcare.
Watch this video to learn more about why we need to do more than just CELEBRATE moms and what we’re doing to actually SUPPORT them.
We’re re-thinking the grant making process.
Our grants are designed by the community they support
We’re creating programs and opportunities based on the needs of our community and building solutions that move us forward in a tangible way.
We’re turning artists into entrepreneurs.
We don’t believe in waiting to “be discovered.” We’re creating our own way by teaching our community the entrepreneurial skills needed to get our work made and seen.
If you dream of a career that allows you to do what you love while achieving the freedom of financial stability, you’ve come to the right place.
We’re connecting organizations with future leaders
There is a major gender disparity in the film industry. Together, we can fix it.
We build bridges between underrepresented filmmakers and organizations committed to diversifying their team of creators. Our grantees learn the skills necessary to not only to compete for top jobs, but to thrive in any environment and lead once they’re there.
