In this gripping documentary, six visionary female and nonbinary filmmakers from across the globe are handed a dream opportunity: to direct fully-funded features under a bold new Hollywood studio that vows to shatter the industry’s status quo. But, as the cameras start to roll, deep-rooted power structures, clashing ideals, and industry pushback threaten to derail the studio’s lofty mission. Battling gender and racial biases at every turn, the filmmakers fight to stay true to their visions—while the studio’s leaders grapple with what it really means to build something different.

ANOTHER TAKE is a gripping exploration of art, power, and the messy urgent work of creating real change in a system built to resist it.

Followed by a post-screening Q&A with special guests.
