Providing advocacy, education, and support to women directors is a cornerstone of Alliance of Women Directors. Our Career Advancement Program does all three through our Craft Enrichment Series, In-House Shadowing Program, and Industry Support Program.
The Craft Enrichment Series
The Craft Enrichment Series is open to all AWD members and consists of master classes, workshops, and panels geared toward preparing attendees for a successful career.
In-House Shadowing Program
Our In-House Shadowing Program is a peer-to-peer mentorship. We connect our applicants with AWD members directing film, commercials, music videos, or web series for shadowing opportunities.
Industry Support Program
Our Industry Support Program champions the careers of our AWD members by offering mentorship, workshops, and panels that inform and enrich the craft of directing. Additionally, participants are introduced to industry professionals who can offer career support.
