She Sees’ mission is to inspire the next generation of diverse female filmmakers and empower more young women to tell their stories through film.

Our ten week program is run by volunteer mentors from the film industry and beyond, and teaches young women to positively collaborate to make their own film.

The She Sees Program

She Sees is a 10-week program that focuses on the following:

  • social and emotional learning activities that foster relationship-building and create a safe space for self-expression
  • introduction to basic filmmaking concepts and storytelling techniques
  • learning about various crew roles on a modern film set and the opportunity for hands-on experience with producing, directing, sound mixing, cinematography, etc.
  • empowering students to develop, pitch, produce and bring a story to screen that reflects their vision of the world
  • modeling what is possible for young women through relationships with mentors in the film industry and beyond

The program is capped off by a red-carpet premiere of the finished film, and a chance for the young women to be celebrated for their achievements.

Volunteer

 

We’re always looking for female and female-identifying mentors to volunteer with She Sees. Our mentors bring experience from the film industry, social work, education, coaching, marketing and design.
