Through Her Lens

THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program, in collaboration with Pulse Films, is a multi-faceted program that provides funding, meaningful project support, and significant mentorship for up-and-coming US-based women writers and directors. This program will develop and nurture essential artistic voices working toward establishing sustainable careers by helping them refine and present their short film concepts to the film industry and selecting one of their projects to fund and see through production. 

Over the course of three days in New York City, finalists attend an empowering Workshop and Forum. Striking a balance between industry mentorship and artistic development, the Workshop and Forum will include hands-on consultation for each project, master classes, one-on-one as well as peer-to-peer sessions, and an opportunity to meet executives programming short form content. Workshops and master classes will contain a range of topics, including script to screen development, story structure, finding collaborators, and fundraising. Special events will include a welcome luncheon, invited dinners, networking, and a closing celebratory award presentation and cocktail.

THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program, is still an active program under the leadership of Tribeca Enterprises.
