Molly Murphy (pronoun: she) joined Working Films in 2001 and now serves as Director of Partnerships and Innovation. In her twenty year tenure, she has planned and directed impact campaigns, facilitated partnerships and coordinated coalitions centered around the use of documentaries to catalyze progress on the biggest issues of our time. Molly has designed and led dozens of trainings, for filmmakers and changemakers, focused on leveraging the power of film to make an impact.
In her current role, she is responsible for Working Films’ external relations, forging connections in the documentary film industry and within social justice movements, and lifting up Working Films’ approach and learnings, while building with allies and accomplices to increase our collective impact. Molly co-leads Working Films’ fundraising efforts and is part of the team of directors responsible for organizational and programmatic strategy and sustainability.
Molly is part of the Documentary Accountability Working Group and on the steering committee of the Global Impact Producers Assembly. She also serves on the board of Justice for My Sister (JFMS), a collective that trains women of color, non-binary youth, and foster youth with a culturally-relevant and trauma-informed approach to tell stories through a gender equity and racial justice lens.
In her spare time, you can find her in nature, singing and dancing to music, playing basketball with her oldest son, and spending time with her family and friends on the coast of North Carolina.
