MsMono Productions is a bold, award-winning 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.

Our debut short film, 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.

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.

The Ride by writer/director Tara Aghdashloo is supported by BFI Network, Canada Council for the Arts, and Toronto Arts Council, premiered to critical acclaim and concluded its run on the international festival circuit in 2024. 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.

MsMono Meets is our event series spotlighting women in film and TV through honest conversation and inspiring connections. Founded in 2021, it creates space for underrepresented voices to share stories, build community, and spark change — with industry speakers, real insights, and a growing network of empowered creatives.

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