About WeirAnderson Films
WeirAnderson Films believes in the power of screen stories. With that power comes the need to ensure stories are as diverse as the audiences that watch them. In particular, there is a need to ensure that women’s perspectives are well-represented, so for us, that means a preference for supporting female storytellers. We work with Storyd Group and the WeirAnderson Foundation to support filmmakers in the way that works best for the project, whether that means supporting development or production, and acting as co-producers, investors or philanthropic funders. We often work with award-winning script editor and producer Michele Turnure-Salleo.
