JWO Media - Story is Our Focus

JWO Media is a Brooklyn based production company focused on film, television and educational media projects. Our mission is to create projects that speech to every fiber of the human condition. We want our audiences to laugh, to THINK and be inspired. We want our audiences to LEARN through engaging stories. We want our audiences to FEEL.

We are normalizing producing projects that are unique and that challenge the conventional. We are telling stories of marginalized people and amplifying the voices of women.

In short, we are shaking things up with a little bit of help from our friends.
