Smoke & Apple Films is an all-female filmmaking team who produce feature-length documentaries as well as short form non-fiction content that parlay powerful storytelling into action. Our directorial debut was "The (Dead Mothers) Club" (a personal film about women who lost their mothers during childhood and the long term impacts of that loss). The film was acquired by HBO in 2014. Our second feature, "The Family I Had" told the story of intra-family violence and juvenile incarceration through a mother's unwavering love for her son who killed her daughter. It was acquired by FilmRise and broadcast on Discovery I.D. after premiering at Tribeca Film Festival in April 2017, won the Special Jury Mention for Best Documentary at Raindance International Film Festival and The Gracie Award for Best Documentary in 2018. Our most recent film, "1275 Days" followed 4 teenagers charged with Felony Murder after an unarmed botched home invasion- it was an official selection at DOCNYC2019. In addition to our feature film work, we have made short films for Intel, the BBC, Innocence Project, and Amazon Originals. Our work has been supported by Tribeca Film Institute, Camden Film Institute, Dogwoof and The Jerome Foundation.
