Our Filmmaking Mission

Women in film have long been overlooked, both in the stories told on screen and in the voices behind the camera. With Sweet Young Thing, we aim to challenge that imbalance—not only by exploring aspects of women's lives that mainstream media often ignores but also by showcasing the talent and vision of women filmmakers. This project is more than just a film; it’s a statement, a celebration, and a commitment to amplifying the voices that deserve to be heard.

Sweet Young Thing is a film created by female filmmakers focused on the lives and relationships of female characters. More specifically, it is a film that follows the experiences of an elderly woman who is staring down her own mortality–a demographic and topic too often overlooked in mainstream filmmaking. While your support of “Sweet Young Thing” cannot reverse these larger issues of gender imbalance, your contributions will have a direct impact on our ability to showcase our filmmaking talents and share this important story.
