Challenge

Female filmmakers are at only 20% of all above the line positions in the film industry in 2018 but the number drops radically for women of color. Women in rural areas such as Mississippi have even less chance.

Solution

The female filmmaker retreat will remove the expense to get support from industry insiders and to complete a second film. Many women only get one chance to direct in this industry and then lose support. We want to pick up where this leaves off.

Long-Term Impact

We want to continue growing this retreat and support for female filmmakers with the plan to follow the participants long-term to watch their careers and as they blossom bring them back as mentors to continue growing this support network.
