Viola Davis’ Ashé Ventures Boards Maria Farinha Filmes’ Biopic of Trailblazing Black Gymnast Daiane dos Santos (EXCLUSIVE)

Ashé Ventures, co-founded by Viola Davis, an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner, has joined forces with Brazil’s Maria Farinha Filmes to co-produce “The Girl Who Could Fly.”

The partnership marks the latest expansive move by the fast-growing Maria Farinha Filmes. In 2024, it launched the Los Angles-based MFF & Co, which in turn acquired a minority stake in London’s four-time Oscar-nominated Violet Films.
