About YháWright Productions
Founded in 2016 by filmmaker, producer, and director Yhá Mourhia Wright, YháWright Productions develops and produces emotionally resonant films, series, and digital content that entertain first while exploring what it means to be human.
NOW IN PRODUCTION: THE VANGUARD
Your donation currently supports The Vanguard, a psychological thriller filming in Oakland. Simone Reyes has just received the highest honor from The Vanguard, an elite institution that transformed her life. Then someone from her past appears, someone who isn't supposed to be there, and Simone begins questioning her memory, the people she trusts, and the institution that gave her everything.
Made by an independent Bay Area cast and crew at the former Holy Names University campus in the Oakland Hills, The Vanguard examines power, ambition, belonging, and the cost of institutional loyalty.
