Artist News | “Made in NY” Women’s Film, TV and Theatre Fund Screenings and Performances

In 2019, finishing funds in the combined amount of $1.5 million were awarded to 63 film, TV, theatre, and digital projects. Now’s the time to see several of the finalized works!

The “Made in NY” Women’s Film, TV and Theatre Fund, a centerpiece of a groundbreaking series of initiatives by the City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME), was unveiled in 2018 to address the underrepresentation of those who identify as women in film, television and theatre.
