MsMono Productions is a bold, writer-led production company on a mission to amplify diverse, authentic female voices. Founded with the belief that storytelling has the power to shape culture, we champion work created by women to bring fresh, original perspectives to screens big and small.

From award-winning short films to powerful audio series, every project we take on is crafted with purpose and passion. Our debut short, Pretty Bitch, earned the Van d’Or Award for Best Screenplay and was nominated in four other categories. Our follow-up, That Girl, Peugeot, was produced with a 70% female cast and crew and screened at festivals around the globe.

Our commitment to representation extends across mediums. You, the music video we created for independent artist and Kingdom Choir member Sharlene-Monique, took home three accolades at the Jump Music Video Awards, including Music Video of the Year.

In 2023, The Ride — a short film by writer/director Tara Aghdashloo and supported by BFI Network, Canada Council for the Arts, and Toronto Arts Council — premiered to critical acclaim and is currently making its way through the international festival circuit. Like all of our productions, it was crafted with a majority-female team.

We’re also proud to be developing a slate of audio projects with female writers, in partnership with industry leaders including Hat Trick Podcast, Listen Audio, and Audible UK.

At MsMono, we don’t just tell stories — we shift narratives.
