Next WMM Workshop!
Crafting a Strong Sample Trailer



The Insider's Guide to Broadcast Sales
Wednesday May 16 | 6:30-8:30 pm

Register here.

Without a compelling sample, even the best film ideas will never be realized. A sample or trailer is your best opportunity to show funders your filmmaking skills and vision for your project before you have a completed film. You will leave this workshop, led by Tracie Holder, Production Assistance Program Consultant and Adella Ladjevardi from Cinereach, with the tools and confidence you need to craft a strong, visually dynamic piece that complements your written proposal and will grab the attention of funders.

Register here.

WMM New Release!
ANNA MAY WONG: IN HER OWN WORDS

Anna May Wong knew she wanted to be a movie star from the time she was a young girl—and by 17 she became one. A third generation Chinese American, she went on to make dozens of films in Hollywood and Europe. She was one of the few actors to successfully transition from silent to sound cinema, co-starring with Marlene Dietrich, Anthony Quinn and Douglas Fairbanks along the way. She was glamorous, talented and cosmopolitan—yet she spent most of her career typecast either as a painted doll or a scheming dragon lady.

Special Offer! Buy ANNA MAY WONG at list price and receive any title from WMM’s Asian & Asian American Studies Special Collection for 50% off!* For details on this offer, click here.


WMM has almost 500 films in its collection, representing more than 400 filmmakers from nearly 30 countries.





Thanks to generous support from the NY Department of Cultural Affairs, WMM has launched The New York City Cultural and Community Discount Program, and is pleased to offer 50% off rentals or sales of WMM films to NYC non-profit groups in the five boroughs!
