Making films and making space.

Ask Mother is a film and production company built on two core beliefs: that stories have the power to change the world , and that the people who tell them should reflect the world we live in.

We create bold, original film and screen work driven by a strong visual identity and an authentic, human voice. But behind the camera, we’re doing something just as important: making space for people who are too often excluded from the industry.

Our education and training wing provides creative and technical skills development for people facing significant barriers to entering a career in the screen industry. In particular, we support young mothers, single parents, people with caring responsibilities, and LGBTQ+ youth.

Through workshops, mentorship, and direct work experience on our productions, we offer practical pathways into the industry and provide whatever additional support is necessary to enable participation, in each individual case.

We believe that too many voices and stories are going unheard because of an industry that doesn’t make space for their needs, and our mission is to reconcile that.
