If you have an upcoming project or event, fill out this form for consideration. Please note, due to the volume of submitted requests, we can not guarantee that your submission will be featured.
CAREER PROGRAMS

Our career programs have various application periods throughout the year. Our programs pages and newsletter are the best ways to stay updated regarding eligibility and application deadlines.
Does WIF fund films or provide connections to funders? We do not provide direct funding at this time. The WIF Film Finishing Fund is on hiatus while we find a new sponsor. We do have career programs (see above) that provide other types of support.
Are there other labs or career programs that WIF recommends? Yes! Check out the Sundance Institute’s Inclusion Resource Map that lists hundreds of organizations, programs, grants, etc. available to filmmakers.
How do I find women and gender non-conforming people for my crew? WIF has a partnership with Crewvie, an international database of crew members that can be sorted by gender, race, city, and other identifiers.
