Indya Moore and Annie Farmer join 'Watch You Rise' ahead of Denver premiere
Indya Moore and Dr Annie Farmer have joined Isabella Cohn's documentary 'Watch You Rise' as executive producers, Variety reported on 16 September 2026. The announcement came ahead of the film's premiere at the Denver Film Festival in October. An executive producer credit often signals key backing and public support rather than day-to-day production work.
'Watch You Rise' examines the roots of sexual harm. Cohn began making it at age 17 and co-wrote it with Maria Marrone, according to the same report. It was produced by Elizabeth Woodward and Marina Hunt at Willa.
Willa describes the project as a believing-into-being documentary that grows up alongside its director, Willa says. The film's own site lists Isabella Grace Cohn as both director and producer, Watch You Rise says. That long timeline is unusual. It started as a teenage project and is now arriving on the festival circuit.
Moore is known for acting in 'Pose' and 'Father Mother Sister Brother'. Farmer is identified as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Both will also take part in panels and public discussions around the film.
The premiere is set for the 49th Denver Film Festival. The festival runs from 22 October to 1 November, Denver Film says. Festival slots matter. They are often where smaller documentaries meet reviewers, audiences and buyers for the first time.
CAA is handling domestic sales for 'Watch You Rise'. In plain terms, the agency is looking for a buyer to release the film in the United States and Canada. No distribution deal has been announced.
The release plan extends beyond screenings. The film will be supported by an impact campaign called 'Let's Talk Sex'. It will train Youth Ambassadors to facilitate post-screening conversations across the country.
The campaign is working with RAINN and YWCA USA. For audiences, this means the screenings are designed to lead into guided discussion. The focus is on conversation, not just viewing.
