About distributors: The Reel Women isn’t affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any company listed here. A listing is not a recommendation, and it’s not a promise that anyone will take your film. We don’t give advice on how to approach them. Each company decides what it acquires and how to submit, so check its own site. General education only. Talk to an entertainment attorney before you sign anything.

This list is curated, not user-submitted, and is reviewed every 3 months for dead links and new additions. Region tags reflect who a resource is actually useful to or eligible for, not just where it’s headquartered (for example, USC-based research used worldwide is tagged Global). Some listings aren’t women-specific, and each one says who it’s for. We do our best to only list resources we’ve verified as accurate, but details like deadlines, funding amounts, and eligibility can change before we catch it. Please do your own due diligence before applying, donating, or relying on anything listed here. The Reel Women isn’t affiliated with any company listed under Distribution, and a listing is not an endorsement or advice on how to approach it. See something missing, wrong, or outdated?
