Mission
Sisters Unite Productions brings together visionary female artists to tell stories that illuminate current social issues and awaken empathy for other human beings. We create documentaries, dance films, video installations, and music videos. All work is crafted with an emphasis on heightening awareness, finding poetic pauses, and generating dialogue. We maintain creative license over our work and are dedicated to producing films and media that remain true to our desire to expand human connection and fight injustice.
Sisters Unite Productions was established in 2006 by sisters Kim Brittenham and Tiffany Rhynard while they were working on the documentary Little House in the Big House. SUP now is the alias for Rhynard and her projects in dance, film and performance.
