World Producers Association
A Global Network for Collaboration, Investment, and Innovation in Cinema
The World Producers Association (WPA) operates under the umbrella of the World House of Cinema Artists (WHCA), serving as an international platform for producers, investors, and creative entrepreneurs.
Its mission is to bridge the gap between art and industry — building sustainable pathways for financing, co-production, and professional education in the global film market.
Our Core Initiatives
Global Networks for Co-Productions and Film Financing
The WPA establishes partnerships across continents, connecting producers, studios, and independent companies to foster international collaborations.
Through these networks, members can access funding opportunities, co-production markets, and joint ventures that strengthen the ecosystem of independent cinema.
Shared Platform for Project Presentation
An exclusive digital and physical platform where filmmakers and producers can present their projects directly to potential investors, studios, and distributors.
This initiative promotes transparency, accessibility, and creative partnerships that transcend national borders.
Professional Training and Industry Standards
The WPA provides professional training programs covering the full spectrum of production management — from intellectual property and copyright law to sales, marketing, and international distribution.
Our goal is to elevate global production standards while supporting ethical and sustainable filmmaking practices.
