“Through Her Lens strikes a balance between industry mentorship and artistic development as well as funding. The combination is critical with all three needed to support emerging [women’s] voices. Since the programs start we have seen the filmmakers go on to producer these short film projects with them playing at major festivals, go on to be acquired by major distributors, and go on to directing features films,” a press release stated about the program.

This year, the three-day event, held Nov. 4-6 in New York City, will help to launch the career of a U.S.-based emerging female filmmaker. The program will award $100,000 in grants and funding to one lucky budding filmmaker.

So, what does Shahidi think about this amazing opportunity for young women across the country? “To be able to live in our specificity and still tell universal stories is what’s really exciting to me. Who are we, if not each other?” And we could not agree more! For more information on the Through Her Lens program, visit there website here.
