My NDA: A Look at Whistleblowers and Corporate America with Exciting New Clip and Sales Deal
Cinephil Acquires Worldwide Rights to ‘My NDA’ After SXSW Premiere
Following its debut in the Documentary Feature Competition at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival, sales company Cinephil has secured worldwide distribution rights for My NDA, an investigative documentary directed by Juliane Dressner and Miriam Shor.
The film delves into the often hidden influence of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and the culture of silence they can impose. It follows three individuals burdened by NDAs that bar them from even acknowledging the agreements’ existence, as they confront the risks involved in breaking this silence.
My NDA combines personal narratives with exclusive behind-the-scenes insights from journalists at The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider. The documentary explores the systemic structures that enable powerful organizations to maintain secrecy while also highlighting the emerging movement challenging these practices.
Cinephil’s Suzanne Nodale and Shoshi Korman will oversee worldwide sales for the film. The production team includes Elizabeth Woodward at Willa, along with Dressner and Shor. Editing was handled by Jen Fineran, with a score from Judy Hyman and Jeff Claus, and motion graphics by Spencer Haley.
Miriam Shor, known for her role in Pluribus and a veteran of signing corporate NDAs herself, remarked, “My NDA is about a system that enables power to subvert justice by covering up abuse and misconduct. Individuals and corporations are allowed to act with impunity, causing harm without us ever knowing. No one should be punished for telling their own story.”
Dressner echoed these sentiments, stating, “The weaponization of NDAs is a global issue. We’re pleased to have Cinephil on board for sales and look forward to My NDA reaching audiences around the world.”
Nodale, co-Managing Director of Cinephil, commented on the film’s significance: “My NDA is exactly the kind of conversation-starting documentary that resonates deeply with audiences and feels essential for this moment. Juliane Dressner and Miriam Shor masterfully weave deeply personal stories with remarkable access, exposing a system designed to silence people while capturing the extraordinary courage it takes to break that silence.”
