Missing the camaraderie of like-minded people?

Eager to meet a kindred sprit to share what you've been working on during the shutdown?

In honor of Valentine's Day, this month's theme will be finding your "filmmaking soulmates" — fellow filmmakers who are interested in the same genres, themes and more!

Space is limited.

ABOUT WOMEN'S WEEKEND FILM CHALLENGE

Women's Weekend Film Challenge (WWFC) works for gender equity by creating opportunities for women to bring their leadership, talents, and stories to the forefront of the film industry. WWFC places professional filmmakers on crews to write, shoot and edit a short film in one weekend and provides top-of-the-line equipment, insurance and workshops. This career-building opportunity is free for participants.

Since its first challenge in January 2018, WWFC has worked with over 700 women to produce 30 short films, which have been accepted to more than 60 festivals. This grassroots, bi-coastal movement combats the gender imbalance of the film industry by providing an intensive networking experience and telling women's stories on screen.

WWFC’s virtual workshop series is made possible in part with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Queens Council on the Arts.
