ABOUT US

Hyenas in Petticoats Productions 

Founded in 2019, we're a Chicago-based independent production team with a passion for inspiring stories. 

The term “Hyenas in Petticoats” was used in the early 1900s as a derogatory slur of the suffragettes who were fighting for women’s voting rights. In the same spirit, we seek to amplify voices who have been misrepresented or undervalued in film and television based on gender, race, ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, disability, class, age, or body type.

We specialize in micro and small budget historical and true drama. We love cheering for the underdog!

STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY

Hyenas in Petticoats Productions stands in unity with our filmmaking community as it continues to rebuild after the pandemic, strikes, wildfires, hurricanes, and other difficult challenges. We strive to be of service and support for our fellow creatives.
