ABOUT AFI DWW+
The AFI DWW+ is a tuition-free program that educates traditionally underrepresented filmmakers through the production cycle of a short film, providing hands-on instruction led by industry experts. It was launched in 1974 as the Directing Workshop for Women, one of the first gender impact programs of its kind in the cinematic arts, as well as one of the longest-running and preeminent film and television workshops nationwide. Since the program’s inception, DWW+ has trained over 350 filmmakers who give voice to historically underrepresented perspectives. DWW+ looks forward to celebrating its 50th year in 2024.

Alums include Oscar winner Siân Heder (“CODA”), DGA President Lesli Linka Glatter, Dime Davis (“A Black Lady Sketch Show”), and Hanelle Culpepper (“Star Trek: Picard”). Additional alums include Maya Angelou, Anne Bancroft, Cicely Tyson, and Joanne Woodward.
