SUCCESS STORIES

You have to make films that have gone to prestigious film festivals to really get the notice. Making Blood and Glory through WIM and having it premiere at Tribeca and be in official selection at Oscar qualifying Indy Shorts and HollyShorts have made a difference. The next project I direct, I’ll be able to pool together more resources because now those accolades are credited to the film we made.

Sati Kaur

Writer, Director

I’m feeling very encouraged by the Illumination training workshop and Women In Media as an organization.

“….. I wish there had been a resource like this in the city I started in – glad to be here now connecting with so many enthusiastic and talented up and coming women and non-binary folks.”

Sika Stanton

Cinematographer, Camera Operator

Women in Media took the pandemic as an opportunity to up its game

and create more events, booking presenters who are not only tip-top in the field, but willing to provide critical insights and unprecedented access to WIM members.

Jane Hare

Director, Producer

I really feel like WIM is a place for me!!

Out of many organizations that support female minority in the entertainment industry WIM is the one that really does things in the right way. It gathers the right kind of professionals, helps forming successful relationships among them and creates actual work opportunities for many women!

Julia Sokolowska

Composer

The feeling of professional support is really valuable.

I would definitely recommend WIM for the full calendar of interesting industry events, networking, the hire these women focalizing which is excellent, for all the hard work Tema and her staff put in to promoting our visibility and hirability as female filmmakers, and definitely for the opportunity to take part in training courses such as this (DaVinci Resolve 15).

Annie Klein

Director, Producer, Production Manager

I’m really proud to be a part of Women in Media.

So often in our industry, it’s “who you know” that gets you opportunities, and Women in Media helps you grow a solid network of professionals that are interested in improving the gender gap in media production. It also provides opportunities to enter into festivals and network with some of the greatest.

Shawna Schultz

Field Producer, Animation Producer

Thank you for the amazing opportunity to be a part of the Da Vinci Resolve 3 day program. It was extremely informative and I feel so proud to be a part of it. Thank you so much for helping us as creatives become confident in tasks we have felt intimated to touch upon.

Roshni Bhatia

Writer, Director

WIM is great.

I love that you consider every department in all your activities and events and that so much of it is working to actually get people hired. And it’s effective!

Sara Garth

1st AC, Camera Operator

Women in Media is a great group.

Very active in creating change. I always come away from events they organize or co-organize having had a great experience.

Gretchen Warthen

Camera Operator

I have never felt so highly “in demand” until I joined the WIM Crew List.

It shifted my slow non-union career as a Freelance Producer/AD into the fast lane. It’s great to have such an effective resource for work and fellowship. The WIM group has kept me informed and motivated with all of the events, news and success of its members.

Paquita Hughes

Key Assistant Location Manager
