Hillman Grad

Founded in 2018 by Emmy® Award-winning writer, producer, and actor, Lena Waithe, Hillman Grad is a production company amplifying the stories of diverse and historically marginalized communities across film and television.

Recent Hillman Grad projects include The Chi, Showtime’s longest-running Black drama series; the Emmy-nominated documentary Being Mary Tyler Moore; and two Sundance 2023 award-winning features: A Thousand and One (Grand Jury Prize, U.S. Dramatic Competition) and Kokomo City (NEXT Audience Award, NEXT Innovator Award).
